By becoming an Associate Partner of the LLP Grundtvig funded project “LEM – The Learning Museum” you will join a network of more than 25 institutions from 17 European countries and from the United States of America. These figures might easily become outdated, as the network is growing day by day.

Who can become an Associate Partner:

All the organisations represented are either museums, museum umbrella organisations or cultural institutions with an interest in lifelong learning, museum education, cultural policies and culture in general, who are interested to circulate ideas, exchange practices, debate with colleagues in a European context, and support professional development of relevant staff.

By becoming an Associate partner you will have the possibility to explore, in a regular exchange with colleagues in the European network, the variety of ways in which museums in the 21^st century have the potential or are learning environments and at the same time learning organisations; that is organisations which learn from other disciplines, as well as from their communities and from different actors to meet the challenges of contemporary society.
