Museums and galleries 21. a century together against the threats of the climate crisis

INTERNATIONAL COLLOQUIUM 26. - 27. 6. 2024

The Slovak Mining Museum in Banská Štiavnica is organising a major international colloquium on the impact of the climate crisis on the management of public institutions such as museums, office and public buildings. This event, as one of the main activities of the Green Mission project, is intended for professionals from the museum and public administration fields and aims to open an important discussion on the greening and sustainability of the operation of these institutions.

The colloquium also raises important questions about linking green management and innovation in order to preserve the historical value of spaces and thus promote sustainable development in the context of cultural heritage.

The colloquium has the ambition to inspire other public institutions to be environmentally responsible and to look for ways in which public institutions can contribute to climate change mitigation and become active agitators for sustainability and environmental awareness.
