2005 CECA Slovakia: Partnering in museum education - enhancing the adventure

The 2005 annual CECA Conference was held in Slovakia from the 17th to 23rd September. Our colleague, Marian Ciz, invited us to explore the theme of Partnership.

RESOLUTION OF BANSKÁ ŠTIAVNICA



The ICOM/CECA 2005 Conference in Banská Štiavnica on the theme Partnering in Museum Education – Enhancing the Adventure and the Annual General Meeting of ICOM/CECA endorse the following resolution:

Taking into account that museum education
• establishes connections within communities and beyond,
• fosters respect and understanding for various cultures, for the environment and for our past,

the participants urge local, regional and national governments and related funding bodies to continue
• to support actively the museums of their regions
• to encourage greater development of ongoing and new partnerships between museums and their key-stakeholders, whether private, corporate, or community.

With this support, the vitally important cultural and educational roles and responsibilities of museums and their contribution to contemporary society are acknowledged.
