This year’s CoMuseum conference will focus on healing through cultural and creative outlets. It will explore how the cultural and creative sector – museums and cultural organizations – may contribute to the recovery and development of our societies, institutions, and relationships.

During the 12th installment of this annual Conference, professionals from international museums and cultural organizations, civil society representatives, educators, culture and health professionals, as well as academics, will examine the above issues through keynotes, panel discussions, workshops and masterclasses.
