Participants will include representatives from museums and World Heritage sites, with a particular focus on those involved in public engagement, education, and learning. The course will explore key concepts in intercultural communication theory, alongside practical applications that promote dialogue under the "Live Museum" model. This model envisions museums and heritage sites as dynamic spaces for cultural exchange, using heritage and handicrafts to connect diverse cultures.
UNESCO has invited interested individuals to apply by September 5, with accepted participants to be notified one week before the course begins.
