LEM Final Conference
Bologna, Italy
The Learning Museum (LEM) Project is organising the conclusive conference in Bologna, on 19 and 20 September 2013. The event is meant as an occasion to bring together as many Associate Partners as possible, to make the most of the networking opportunities offered by the project. The conference has been registered on the Comenius Grundtvig Catalogue with the code IT-2013-960-001.
The overall objective of the event - which in the first place is meant to be a meeting place to facilitate networking and develop further collaborations at European level - is therefore to disseminate the outcomes of the project and share the knowledge developed throughout the three years of its duration, as well as to give participants an opportunity to compare experiences and exchange ideas with colleagues from all over Europe.
On 19 September it will be possible to join the LEM Working Groups in the thematic seminars focused on their research. The international conference will be held on 20 September and will be livestreamed.
