From ICOM newsletter:
Following the COVID-19 outbreak and the subsequent lockdowns, we decided to adapt the format and focus on digital activities, to promote the values of IMD while ensuring the safety of the public and staff alike. Remember that you are welcome to organize your on-site activities between November 14 and 16, 2020.
How can museums ensure diversity and inclusion in their digital activities, exploiting the potential of the web? We already drafted a list of possible activities that museums can develop to reach their public remotely, but we should also focus on the “inclusive” part of these long-distance practices.
For those museums who wish to organise activities on site once the lockdowns are over, ICOM proposes an alternative date: a three-day celebration between November 14, coinciding with the Long Night of Museums, and ICOM’s 74th anniversary on November 16, 2020.
