We Are Museums, EIT Climate-KIC and the MO Museum join forces to produce seven-month information, mentoring and co-creation programme to turn museums into agents of change and start climate actions (from Oct 2020 to May 2021).
The challenge: turn 16 museums in Lithuania into agents of change and activate climate actions via new museum practices and the production of local communities engagement programmes and exhibitions.

Our ambition in Lithuania is to support the museum sector into this unprecedented moment of upheaval and transformations, focusing on social and environmental impact. To embrace the new global context and face the multiplicity of crisis, we gather experts in global impact, systemic change, sustainability, biomimicry, and more, to guide you and your museum through change. The programme offers a one-day conference and workshop, online collective problem-solving, expert mentoring and peer-to-peer support. It aims to guide museums to become future literate, drive the road of ecological transition through tangible guidelines, implement new working process based on collaboration or find new business models and opportunities for museums. |

some figures: 16 museum professionals, 1 international conference, 4 meetups with experts, 6 meetings with advisors, 20 facilitated meetings, 1 sensemaking workshop, 4 final projects.
International conference and a series of meetups embracing cognitive diversity
