meeting

At the beginning of last week in Budapest, the delegates of several Hungarian, German, Czech and Portugese museums, non-profit organizations, and an academic institution met at the two-day-long Museo Mundial thematic workshop whichwas financed by the Europen Union. During the workshop, it was said several times that the purpose of museums is not just providing information but shaping the awareness of today’s society. The museum is not a cemetery of dead stories, but a tool to shape the thoughts and knowledge of contemporary people.

With this three-year-project, the European Union would like to facilitate its Millennium Development Goals. This program is a unique endeavor as it is implemented by the co-operation of museums and non-governmental organizations.Its aim is to engage the wide social audience, who attends museums, inthe European goals.
