With three days of talks, discussions, workshops and networking activities – CoMuseum is more than just a conference: It is an international hub for the exchange of knowledge for the well-being of cultural organizations and the empowerment of their communities, which facilitates and fosters the creation of networks and synergies.

Building on the theme of last year’s program on “Museums and Justice”, the 2024 CoMuseum Conference will delve deeper into how museums and cultural organizations, as trustworthy institutions, can contribute to enhancing people’s lives by addressing the challenges of fair treatment. Critical responsibilities taken up by museums, like fostering diversity and sustainability, adopting restitution policies and provenance research, and facing disinformation will be explored among other themes relating to the principles of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA).

On Wednesday, December 4, and Thursday, December 5, at the Benaki Museum/Pireos 138 in Athens, and on Friday, December 6, at the Thessaloniki Concert Hall, participants will have the opportunity to interact with cultural and creative professionals, representatives of civil society, and artists in a meeting that explores and deepens the understanding of culture and creativity.
