Over the three days of the conference, attendees will discuss and debate strategies, propose solutions and actions for institutional change and develop a deeper understanding of museum roles and responsibilities with regard to their ever-changing communities. This third edition will focus on the challenges and responsibilities of coexistence between people of diverse social, political and cultural origin, as well as their relationship with the natural environment.
