Event details
The University-wide research theme, Global Heritage: Science, Management and Development and the Centre for Public History, Heritage and Memory invite you to join this event, the first to bring all UK and Ireland ecomuseums together to introduce their projects.
The event provides opportunities for ecomuseums, community heritage organisations and groups and interested parties to network and learn more about the different ecomuseological practices in the UK and Ireland. The event brings together for the first time all six UK and Ireland ecomusuems, who will each introduce their practices and take part in a roundtable discussion. Ecomuseums have great potential as a way for communities to engage in sustainable practices and climate action and support the local economy through regenerative tourism development. The event will explore these particular aspects of the ecomuseum through our three international speakers who will look at the role ecomuseums could play in contributing to UN sustainability goals (Nunzia Borrelli), networking (Glenn Sutter) and sustainable tourism (Tiérna Mullen). One of the main goals of the day is to look into ideas to establish an ecomuseum network to provide support for different organisations and to give the ecomuseums a stronger voice in the museum community.
