Young members network and grants

 

Are you under 36 and keen to expand your international network? Join the CECA Young Members Network!

WHY
What we want to achieve with this CECA-Young Members Network is to bring together students and young professionals up to 36 years old, who are engaged in museum education, visitor services and public participation in the museum sector. With this, we want to provide a platform to share thoughts, experiences and knowledge among peers, so that we can learn from each other and explore new possibilities together.

HOW
To achieve this, an online meeting is organized once a month around a specific topic, on Fridays, Saturdays or Tuesdays. Due to the international nature, we have to take into account the different time zones, therefore the meetings will take place at 15:00 (Amsterdam Time). The working language will be English. In the week before the meetings, you will again receive a reminder by email and Whatsapp.

The modus operandi is always:

  • Introduction of the topic
  • a personal reflection on the subject
  • An informal group discussion
  • Conclusion: answers or more questions …

There is room to give your own short presentation on the topic, introduce a concrete question or initiate a project among the participants. If so, let me know in advance.

WHEN and WHAT we want to address?

Planning for 2024-2025 :

Please note: we regularly receive bounced e-mail messages. Sometimes they are blocked by a powerful spam filter or the inbox is full. If you haven’t received any e-mails in the last year, please let us know or make sure you’re part of the WhatsApp group.

Hope to see you (again)!
