David Vuillaume, Chair of the NEMO Executive Board, took part in a roundtable at the symposium, which welcomed more than 120 participants from Europe and raised a wider interest across the globe through online streaming.
The programme featured, among others, a keynote by Dr. Amareswar Galla (Institute for the Inclusive Museum), a roundtable with representatives from UNESCO, ICOM International, ICH NGO Forum, NEMO, and Werkplaats immaterieel erfgoed, which was the lead partner of the project.
You can relive the Symposium by watching the videos of the livestreaming. In addition, the written report is now available online, as well as the photo album.
