Themes for Discussion

With this second meeting we will continue the discussion we started in the 11th November meeting.
We will focus on two or three exhibits/techniques on display in the galleries of the Crafts Museum. The goal is to explore the use of information communication technologies for:

• education in museums (for lifelong learning)
• support and sustainability of handicraft
• cluster and innovation policy
• widening and diversifying the constituencies served by the Museum

We hope to arrive at some concrete proposals at the end of the session.
