Training for the Contact Zone (TCZ) is a European project dedicated to rethinking adult education, with a special focus on museums and heritage learning.

This event invites practitioners, policymakers, artists and mediators, cultural workers to explore how arts, culture, and heritage spaces can function as Contact Zones: not as places where differences are erased, but as spaces where they are acknowledged, engaged and transformed into something shared.

𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞

Across Europe, societies are facing major challenges: increasing political polarisation, shrinking civic and cultural spaces, and growing distrust in democratic processes. In this context, cultural and heritage work—carried out by institutions, educators, artists, cultural practitioners, and policymakers—plays a vital role in shaping shared and liveable realities.

“𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐙𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞” – 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐤𝐞𝐲 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧:

How can we create spaces that foster reflection, dialogue, and collective agency, even in the face of conflicting perspectives or contested histories?

🔲 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐙𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡 🔲

The conference introduces the Contact Zone as a framework for navigating these complexities. A Contact Zone is any physical, social, or symbolic space where people with different experiences, identities, and worldviews come together. Such encounters can be difficult, but they open the door to mutual understanding, shared agency, and collective sense-making/ meaning-making.

🔲 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭 🔲

𝐃𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥:

🔲 Reflect on the rise of polarisation and anti-democratic shifts across Europe and their relationship with culture and heritage.
Explore the TCZ curriculum as a tested framework for inclusive and participatory practices.

🔲 Discuss how TCZ tools can strengthen cultural democracy, civic engagement in local realities and intercultural exchange.

🔲 Consider how methodologies developed in the TCZ can inform cultural policies and contribute to structural changes.

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬

More than a metaphor, the Contact Zone challenges us to rethink how we engage with difference, heritage, and power structures. By equipping practitioners and institutions with critical, creative, and participatory tools, the TCZ project contributes to a more inclusive and responsive cultural governance.

𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚 𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞.

🔲 It shares insights from a year of cross-border collaboration in which the TCZ approach was developed, tested, and refined.

🔲 It opens new space for dialogue, connecting experience with advocacy to shape future policies and practices.
