These will be the topics of the next workshop of the ICOM International Training Centre for Museum Studies (ICOM-ITC), which will be held in Beijing, China, from 17 to 25 April 2024.
In this 14th edition of the training programme, Chinese and international participants and lecturers will discuss and exchange knowledge about best practices to foster inclusion and diversity, the importance of co-creation, restitution and more.
The programme will follow the ICOM-ITC training method, which combines practice and theory with lectures, group work, discussions, visits to local museums, and a full-day excursion to cultural heritage sites around the capital.
