Day 1 – Wednesday, April 15

9.30 – 10.30 Keynote: Critical approach to museums in the Balkans: building the new mind-set in the age of heritage - Prof. Dr Tomislav Šola Small museums have to be creative and courageous. New potential will rise with their versatility and new alliances: we must bring top profes- sionals into leading positions and in close cooperation with local com- munities. We must forge the alliance with communities, with cultural tourism and social enterprise to demonstrate that heritage is part of a developmental strategy. A museum that does not respond to the needs of people is an empty museum.

11.00 – 12.00 Parallel sessions 1 Community engagement - Ana Ivanović & Gordana Grabež This session is about a community engagement project developed in National Museum of Montenegro. The main idea of the project was to involve young people (18-24-year-olds) in decision making processes about museum programmes and activities. Experience of working with students and process of community consulting will be shared and peo- ple will find out how it worked out in practice for National Museum of Montenegro. Museum professionals (curators, educators) should attend.

10 Meet, See, (Critically) Do 2015 Building a community engagement strategy for the museum - Alisa Gojani The session that I run will be more like a forum of discussions, were I will present via power point the work that I’m doing together with my partner from the National Museum in Northern Ireland trying to develop a community engagement strategy for the Museum of Koso- va. Participants will work in groups and together we will try to build a strategy for a virtual museum based on the data that I submitted earlier in the presentation. I think that this session will increase awareness and help to understand better the importance of community involvement at the museum.

Approaches to learning at National Museums Scotland - Stephen Allen This session will look at strategies and approaches to museum learning at National Museums Scotland (NMS). As well as describing the pro- grammes and activities at NMS, this session will aim to be interactive and fun. It is aimed at any staff/colleagues involved in museum learn- ing/education.

Memorialization of difficult heritage: the example of the former communist prison of Spaç - Mirian Bllaci and Nedi Petri Participants will learn about how an appropriate methodology can turn a difficult site of memory into an excellent platform of inclusion, learn- ing and spreading of democratic values. The themes for the session will focus around the reuse of the ruins and degraded buildings, engaging with marginalized groups, museum forms and expressions. Museum managers, cultural heritage officials, exhibition curators, historians, cul- tural heritage activists, and people dealing with “difficult heritage” are encouraged to join.

Day 2 – Thursday, April 16

9.30 – 10.30 Debate: Should museums take sides? The case of Scotland - Nat Edwards & Stephen Allen The referendum on the question of Scottish independence in 2014 saw unprecedented levels of public engagement in the political process. Nearly 85% of the population voted in the referendum, and the cam- paign was notable for the passion shown by both sides. Two Scottish museum professionals reflect on how the museum and heritage sector responded to the challenges and opportunities and discusses the ex- tent to which museums should engage with political debate.

11.00 – 12.00: Parallel sessions 2 Story telling - The Viking mother and modern leadership – Ing Marie Munktel Can we learn about leadership from storytelling/acting? The role of Directors has changed from being an isolated untouchable person at the top of the hierarchy, to a creative, communicating team leader. We will discuss and analyse leadership guided by the Viking mother.

Access in Action – Tatjana Mijatovic and Etleva Demollari What is inclusion? Why it is important? What are hidden barriers?

12 Meet, See, (Critically) Do 2015 This session will try to give answers and to inspire participants through many examples to act creatively in order to make their institutions more accessible for disabled people and to try to change how society perceives inclusion.

Consciousness of the Shared - Anna Viola Hallberg The session “Critical Art & Activism as Consciousness of the Shared” is a workshop to explore potential geopolitical critical contingencies. It is also set up as a hub for sharing experiences working with art and/or activism with the institutional context.

Learn about us - Irena Ruzin The objective of this workshop is to share museum education experi- ences on community engagement which we gained in the Bitola Muse- um. It also explores how these can be supported by the best practices from the UK, which I explored in collaboration with Glasgow Muse- ums. Through the workshop, we will try to find approach / concept for attracting and including older citizens who are not the traditional group of visitors in the Museums. Our discussion during this workshop will focus on how to attract their participation through community engage- ment methods. The colleagues on this workshop will have a chance to simulate museum educators and older people with different religions / ethnically mixed (which are our target group).

14.00 – 15.00: Parallel sessions 3 The Little Archaeologist: How to engage children at the museum - Melsi Labi Anyone interested in making the museum an attractive place and educational area for the children should attend this session. National Historical Museum of Albania is an inspiring place for children, and we

About the Programme 13 offer our primary school pupils a wide range of sessions, activities and topics. In “the little archaeologist” children make a connection with real people in history through artefacts and stories. At the same time they understand the importance of the historical values of the objects.

Labels and Voices: introduction to interpretation of objects – Diana Walters This is session will explore the idea of multiple voices and interpreta- tions of objects. It will be hands-on, creative and fun. Anyone interest- ed in writing labels would particularly enjoy this session – all welcome!

Why bother with personal development? - Michèle Taylor This session will explore the benefits of an intentional approach to personal development - especially when it seems like there isn’t the time or resources to spare. This session is for anyone who feels like they want a more strategic approach to their work and to their own personal aspirations. You will come away with tools and approaches to support you to set goals and work towards them.

Meet the Neighbours. Open Space at the History Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina – Elma Hašimbegović Aiming to present its work, build and strengthen relationships with community and engage it more into museum work, History Museum of BIH is continuously exploring the possibilities of using the museum space. By reactivating and reprogramming one room in the museum building and developing the idea of Open Space, the Museum is offer- ing a new space for dialogue, exchange of ideas and creativity. The aim of the workshop is to explore the potential and possibilities of muse- ums as meeting places for community.

14 Meet, See, (Critically) Do 2015 Day 3 – Friday, April 17

9.30 – 10.30 Keynote: ART AND ACTIVISM - Anna Viola Hallberg We can think of art as something that is provoking but it can also be facilitated to construct micro realities, or platforms, to think about so- ciety or a specific collection or topic. This keynote will pinpoint some experiences working with friction as method towards an emancipatory strategy.

11.00 – 12.00 Talk Show: Regional examples and case studies of NGO activism This session is held in the plenary, and is a dialogue session between NGO activists that present the examples of their work tackling impor- tant social issues through heritage and culture. Michèle Taylor will chair the session and particularly explore how can there be more activism in the museums and what is needed to strengthen the cooperation between NGOs and museums.

14.00 – 15.00 Balkan Museum Network Second assembly meeting The second Assembly meeting of the Balkan Museum Network is open to all participants of the conference. Members of the Network have the right to vote while others are observers. After a short presentation about BMN, members will vote on the current list of members and the report on activities. Plans for 2015 will be presented, including the joint project “Museum & Me – Balkan Museum Network virtual exhibition”.

About the Programme 15 15.00 – 15.30 The Happy museum - Nat Edwards In 2011, a group of UK museums came together to explore how museums can play an active part in creating a more sustainable future. Adopting a manifesto for happiness, the Happy Museum Project has begun to reimagine key aspects of museums’ traditional role – in a journey that has taken them to some exciting new places. Most im- portantly they have discovered that some of the biggest challenges for museums and their communities can be faced with a smile.

About Facilitators 21 Anna Viola Hallberg artist/curaror/msc international museum studies

Hallberg works from a project-based method with a multidisciplinary structure and often convers the roll of the artist and the curator. The notion of in-betweeness, both in private life and geopolitically, have brought on several projects critiquing the ambiguity between the private and the public, between the narra- tive and the documentary, and between the watcher and the watched. The works often include thorough research and are presented in art installations with fluid and multiple ways of interpretation. Central is her approach of everyday life and the rendering of collective memory based on experiences. Photography, video, sound and text are used for installations or interventions. She is socially and politi- cally engaged and often the duration of her work stretch over several years commitment. Hallberg has been working with these themes in Russia, USA, Sweden, Belarus and Mexico. Places where she also exhibited are Austria and Ukraine.

Hallberg is a member of KRO/Swedish Artists National Organization.
