We Are Museums 2019 | Poland

  The Muzeum Śląskie in Katowice, Poland, will host We Are Museums 2019, this year's edition of the We Are Museums event series on museums, innovation and social purpose projects. We Are Museums 2019 will be held in Katowice on 27-29 May. The main points of focus this year are 'Local Love', 'Museum for Good' and 'Entrepreneurship Museum', and major conversations will revolve around the 'MuseumHood': how museums create a neighbourhood and impact social change and a brotherhood always ready to support and take action. With responsive and significant new roles opening up for museums in society, We Are Museums 2019 aims to align museums as places of inclusive growth and sustainable development, where the social and environmental impact they make are the primary metrics. Museum professionals share a responsibility for the future of the communities they work in, as well as for the planet. And as trusted institutions with a clearly-defined purpose, museums are transformative tools and significant civic resources. In the context of the conference, the 'Tech Loves Culture' event will take place, as a meeting place between professionals from culture and technology who want to start working together and jump into the next steps faster.
