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 – 16:15 (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 without a guest speaker is:

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

The modus operandi with a guest speaker is:

• Introduction of the topic: 1 speaker 20-30 minutes, 2-3 speakers 15 minutes each.
• Questions and Answers (Q & A)
• Conclusion: answers or more questions …

We are going to use a registration form for our meetings this season:

This will help me to prepare beforehand, the number of participations, register new colleagues and send reminders of the meeting link.
