New perspectives for Youth and Museums

During the 2010 session, a round table was dedicated to the question of the cultural heritage of the national minorities and its conservation in museums. The success of this meeting showed the interest for new facets to be developed in the next months in the framework of the Youth and Museums project. A firs event was organized in July 2010 when a group of 27 young representatives of national minorities from Romania visited UNESCO Headquarters and was informed on the Organization programmes.

In view to express the cultural identity of the European woman, after a brainstorming, the participants created two works: an exhibition and a theatre performance (including costumes and music). At the end of the workshop the performance was presented in the local theatre, as well as the exhibition.
