| Description | The educational practice of museums is influenced not only by the professional focus of the institution and the specialisation of the collections, but also, and just as fundamentally, by the extent of these collections and the spaces in which they are made available to the public, the number of staff at the museum's disposal, and the environment in which the museum operates. Educational activity in a small museum has its own specifics and cannot be simplistically understood as a reduced form of the pedagogical activity of larger or big museums. It is often small museums that benefit from closer ties with their audiences, implement innovations in education more dynamically and in many ways can inspire other museums. The seventh edition of the conference, organized by the Committee for Public Relations and Museum Pedagogy of the Czech Association of Museums and Galleries, will focus on insights into the current educational work of small museums and debate on related questions. With what range of actors can a museum cooperate and what infrastructures can it enter? How is it possible to achieve closer links and better outreach to its audiences? What are the pitfalls but also the benefits of having a small working team in a museum and possible cumulative job roles that may include that of a museum educator? |
