a NEMO - LEM Working Group study
NEMO’s LEM Working Group (Learning Museums)
is happy to present its recently published study on Young People in
Museums.
“Learning in Museums and Young People” focuses on museums informal and non-formal
learning opportunities for young people, particularly aged 14-25. It was
conducted in the context of current issues for young people in Europe and the
challenges they are faced with, in the social field, as well as concerning their
employment opportunities. Based on an outline of this "frame" the more-than-ever
important role of museums is discussed.
In the course of this 4 sections deal
with the following related topics:
- the relation between museums and young people with regard to
motivations and methodologies to improve and increase access
and engagement in culture
- the role of museums in the digital era and use and
particularly potential of new technologies
- the challenges of social exclusion, especially for those
considered NEET.
- the multi-facetted concept of accessibility and disadvantage
referred to young people with disabilities
In order to give
specific references to EU context, all themes are introduced related to some of
the Europe 2020 priorities, targets and flagship
initiatives.
The study is
avalaible on NEMO’s website. NEMO and the LEM Working Group hope that you will find the study
useful in your further work and are looking forward to discuss these topics
further with you.
