Day1: The Network of Museums for Migrants and Social Justice

Session 1: Developing a Program for Communication between Museums, Migrant (Workers) Community and the Public

With the wave of transnational migration on the rise across the globe and the multiple impacts brought by transnational migrants to destination societies, how can museums, commonly regarded as institutions forging national and self-identities, work with migrant communities to develop exhibitions and educational programs which is migrant-community-oriented as a way to build a bridge for communication between migrant communities and the public of destination societies? Also, how do museums facilitate recognition, understanding, and acceptance between people of different cultures and identities through the dialogue to challenge stereotypes, discrimination, and xenophobia in the mainstream consciousness and public opinion?
