In Dialogue with Cultural Heritage

Cultural heritage is ever-present in our lives, but it is often only an invisible framework. Despite its significance and recognized value, it is frequently ignored, sometimes - assaulted, and rarely - valued. Certain organizations are trying to bring it to the fore. Museums, monuments and heritage sites are among such establishments. These are paradoxical institutions. On the one hand, they benefit from reliable high trust capital; on the other hand, they are/seem to be uninteresting for the general public. They are accused of being dusty, old-fashioned, boring, stiff etc. but they display a fairly large dynamism in their offer compared to other cultural and educational suppliers. This intervention aims to bring into question how museums/heritage sites carry out their educational and cultural mission. Heritage should not be a passive educational resource. It could be a partner for personal development, both for the children and the grown-ups
