Museum Curators Expert Training Workshop
March 18 @ 9:00 am - March 19 @ 4:00 pm
We are happy to announce the call for the Museum Curators Expert Training Workshop, in The Hague, the Netherlands. The training will take place on March 18 and March 19, with March 17 as the day of arrivals. Several sessions are expected to be held at a museum in Amsterdam, and the rest at EuroClio’s premises in the Hague. We will share the programme along with more details with the selected participants.
About the Project
In partnership with Terraforming, Intercultural Institute Timișoara, and the Arolsen Archives, EuroClio is leading the project, Facts Not Fiction – Young Historians Show How to Learn from the Past. This project is addressed to history educators and other professionals and institutions in the field of memorialisation. The aim is to train students and youth groups to research local histories of persecution during the Nazi era and develop their own end products based on these findings. Among the students’ creations are an exhibition, a heritage tour, a graphic novel and a podcast. Related to this, we are organising several training workshops with experts on these topics.
Who can apply?
For this particular event, we are looking for museum curators and other related professionals from Germany, Serbia, the Netherlands, Romania, and Finland (this aspect is based on project partners). Applicants are expected to have experience or be interested in the history of totalitarianism, the Holocaust memorial, and mid-20th century histories of migration and persecution.
How can you apply to join us?
Please send us a letter of motivation detailing your interest in the training, your relevant experience and intentions for future work related to the topics of the training.. Please also attach your CV and send both to secretariat@euroclio.eu.
The main objectives of the Museum Curators Expert Training Workshop are:
- Develop the capacity of participants to organise educational animations and workshops for young people in order to show how exhibitions can be curated as a tool to introduce public history
- Develop the capacity of participants to assist students in curating an exhibition and crafting its message and interpretation.
