    Hi everyone

    Please, join us to celebrate the International Museum Day on May 18th at 11 am EDT.

    This year, we are going to celebrate International Museum Day on 18 May in a very special way. The official theme is "Museums Uniting a Divided World" and there are no better conciliators and unifiers in the world than children.

    In this context, and the publication of my book "Children's Boards in Museums. New Approaches to Working with Children in Museums", Cultural Inquiry invites some of the professionals currently leading the renewal of child-related museology to share their vision of how this is radically transforming the way professionals are working with children in museums. We will be joined by internationally renowned experts who are changing the way museums work with children, such as Sharon Shaffer Nicola Wallis Monica Patterson, or Nicole Cromartie.

    In this free online panel, we will discuss, among other things:
    · How are professionals' perceptions of the role children play in museums today changing?
    · What has caused this shift towards a more democratic model in which children have an increasing capacity to make decisions that directly affect the museum (not only its content and programming)?
    · What role has the emergence of a whole theoretical trend (critical child museology, for example) that is firmly committed to this change played in this shift?
    · What implications does this have for the daily practice of professionals in their relationship with both their respective work teams and their local communities (indigenous communities, for example)?
    · What challenges (both internal and external to the museum) lie ahead to develop this trend and this vision further?
    · What role does AI play in the way children and museums relate to each other?

    Looking forward to seing you then!

    Kind regards

    Jose
