PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT – seminar for educators from Jewish museums in Europe. The 2022 edition focusses on best practice in educational programming for secondary schools and zooms in on Gen Z.
Gen Z is born between 1997-2012 and is mostly known as digital natives, but also for their more flexible attitudes towards identity, diversity, gender, and individualism. Due to the pandemic, museums have not been able to physically welcome Gen Z on their premises over the last years. Now that the museum sector is gradually opening its physical doors again, our educators and Gen Z are experiencing a reboot. How does Gen Z challenges us to develop new educational practices? Which opportunities does Gen Z offer to museums and museum pedagogues?
The intensive 3-day MEST seminar programme comprised various hands-on workshops, presentations, and discussion, as well as behind-the-scenes visits to museums in the Oslo area and meetings with Norwegian museum professionals at the Intercultural Museum, The 22. July Center, and the Memorial and Learning Centre at Utøya. The workshop programme consisted of the following sessions:
