Adoption of the "Declaration of Funchal": Museums as Social Landmarks


- Museums are encouraged, in particular, to promote community involvement, the launching of programmes especially geared towards young adults and the strengthening of the capacity to function as catalysts for local economic development.
- Authorities are recommended to reinforce funding and to develop a whole new public policy agenda focused on creating or strengthening cooperative networks, promoting mobile exhibitions, sharing services and resources, and broadening the use of new digital technologies, potentiating new connections between museums (in line with the theme of this year's International Museum Day, calling for “hyper-connected museums”), and of these with their publics and the communities in which they are situated.
