Let's not stop talking and struggling! 💪 As Bernadette Lynch put it with her metaphor of a lifeboat - we have to accept the struggle or even the discomfort, as long as public trust is a lifeboat from which we can act 🌊⛵️. For now: Have a safe journey home! 🚂🚲🛩 #BiMCon23

A big THANK YOU to all people @leizarchaeology and the organizing team from the Leibniz Centre of Excellence for Museum Education @IPN_Kiel and @DeutschesMuseum who made #BiMCon23 possible 🎉

These questions were raised again by Alexandra Busch @leizarchaeology and Lorenz Kampschulte (@DeutschesMuseum) in the closing remarks.

🏛️🤝 Is it the same concept of #trust that we as museum professionals and our communities/visitors hold? Can we change the supposed claim of neutrality? Do we perhaps even lose trust when engaging with certain #communities?

In our online #worldcafe we discuss questions and projects about matters of #outreach, #emotions, #trust and #inclusion in museum work. #BiMCon23 @leizarchaeology @DeutschesMuseum

Strategies, ideas and best-practices - let’s come together in a world cafe and share our knowledge 🏛️💡 #BiMCon23 @leizarchaeology @LeibnizWGL

Exploring the space of @leizarchaeology while listening to general director @AlexandraWBusch introducing the museum's conceptual ideas for its new exhibition 🌱🔎 #BiMCon23 @LeibnizWGL

Time to #discuss! One outtake: museums can, should and are wanted to represent multiple voices, which doesn't necessarily mean taking sides (and thereby losing trust of some...). #BiMCon23 @leizarchaeology @LeibnizWGL

Last but not least: Kathrin Grotz and Patricia Rahemipour from @museumsforscher share their plans for a population representative #study about public #trust in different types of German #museums. ✖️✏️ #BiMCon23 @leizarchaeology
