Editorial Emma Nardi Dear Colleagues, next semester will be a very important one for Icom-Ceca, in particular because the new board will be elected. In the Zoom section you will find all the information on how to vote. A survey has been jointly organised by Cultuurnetwerk (The Netherlands) and Ceca about our membership. The two pieces of information I am giving you are related because it is paramount for the new board to know more about members in order to better fulfil their expectations. The questionnaire is perhaps too long, especially for people who work in museums. However I do beg you not to forget to fill it because your opinion is obviously very valuable to us and it would be a pity not to know it. Again you will find in Zoom all the information you need. The second Ceca Europe correspondents meetth th ing took place in Salerno in June 14 -15 . I want to take this opportunity to thank once more the Provincia of Salerno, that sponsored the meeting, for their warm hospitality and perfect organisation. The National Correspondents from Armenia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Italy, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom attended the meeting. Arja Van Veldhuizen, Ceca General Secretary, Sonia Guarita do Amaral, board member responsible for coordinating NCs activity, and Melissa de Vreede (Cultuurnetwerk) were also present. The discussion
was lively and useful. In particular the following points were stressed: -
Icom and Ceca have to work on communicating with new members and the mailing list must be organised in a more effective way;
-
a common format for national reports has been agreed (see box below);
-
on behalf of Ceca–Europe NCs I will present to the board a new project called Icom – Ceca members introduce themselves.
I wish to meet you all in Shanghai and to have a new opportunity to discuss with you.

We are currently focusing on the ways in which we can work with practicing artists to devise a programme of CPD in response to our exhibitions and Collection, foregrounding the art, artist and building itself as a unique learning resource. This five-day international summer school will enable participants to explore new approaches to teaching contemporary art in schools through the context of the gallery. The Summer Institute offers an exciting programme of practical and discussion based activities, curators’ talks and artist interventions. Date: 26 July - 30 July 2010 Location: Tate Modern, Bankside, London Website: www.tate.org.uk

News from Armenia The Association of Museum Workers and Friends (Armenia) & ICOM National Committee of Armenia organize the publication of the Second Number of the Annual journal “Museum”. The publication will include Museological Theoretical, Methodological and Practical issues (each paper maximum 7 pages); Activities of a Museum (each paper maximum 5 pages); Museum News (each paper maximum 5 pages) sections. The articles can be presented in Armenian, Russian or English. The deadline to present the articles is 15th of July 2010. Contact: aniavagian@yahoo.com News from Denmark As mentioned before in CECA NEWS 6, the Heritage Agency of Denmark (Kulturarvsstyrelsen) initiated a major questionnaire on the state of museum education in Denmark. Furthermore, they published a better practice of museums education. Both reports from the Heritage Agency have now been translated into Spanish and can be downloaded from their website. The reports will also be translated into English and will soon be available from the website: http://www.kulturarv.dk/publikationer/efteremne/museer/ News from France Projet en cours d’élaboration A la suite de deux réunions avec des collègues, membres de CECA ou non membres, une proposition de constitution de groupes de travail thématiques a été élaborée. Il s’agirait de tenir des réunions en parallèle (sur des thèmes différents ou identiques), de s’organiser localement, en tenant compte de la proximité géographique (celle-ci paraît la plus réaliste, du moins dans un premier temps). Le principe d’une journée de travail préparée par un ordre du jour semble raisonnable en termes de charge. Par ailleurs, l’envoi d’un compte rendu de la journée à tous les membres CECA est essentiel. Ce fonctionnement suppose qu’une personne se propose pour la coordination de chaque groupe. Quelques thèmes possibles:
1) Place de la médiation humaine dans l’offre de médiation actuelle 2) Nouvelles technologies, nouveaux usages 3) Différents publics, différentes offres 4) Evaluation. Les indicateurs d’efficacité 5) Les formations en direction de publics 6) La labellisation de la médiation produite par un musée dans une communauté muséale (approche inter établissements) 7) Le développement des publics (comment faire venir, diversifier pourquoi) 8) Langage naturel, langage d’expert. Pour les modalités d’échange, nous butons sur le fait que je ne peux donner les courriels des membres sans leur autorisation. Je cherche à passer par un site de type Agenda. Je me renseigne pour savoir comment rendre opérationnelle notre proposition de constitution de groupes de travail. Toute suggestion serait précieuse. Si d’autres pays souhaitent organiser des groupes thématiques nous pourrions envisager des échanges d’information au niveau européen. Hana.gottesdiener@wanadoo.fr
News from Italy Cycle of seminars for PhD Students From 17th to 27th May, Professor Colette DufresneTassé, CECA President, took a cycle of seminars for the PhD Students from The École doctorale internationale “Culture, Éducation, Communication”. The seminar was called “La salle d’exposition comme lieu de plaisir et de développement psychologique de l’adulte”. It was held in Rome, at Roma Tre Department of Educational Design and in the venues of the Museo Nazionale Romano. Education and mediation Committee During the first meeting (Milan, 12th April 2010) the ICOM Italy Education and mediation Committee decided to focus their research activities in the following field: the educational function of museums and cultural heritage as a resource to promote active and democratic citizenship. It’s important to remind that the active and democratic citizenship is a key competence established by the Parliament and by the Council of Europe.
