Sustainable Development
Sustainability has been defined by the United Nations as a process 'that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs'. Sustainability deals with the relationship between the environment, financial policies, and with the use of materials and energy. Sustainable development of communities in developing countries is also under discussion in relation to the tourist industry (cultural tourism). This workshop will work with a two-fold approach: the role of heritage in societal development; and the sustainable development of museums, heritage organizations and the museum profession itself.
Workshop 1: Heritage Movement
Workshop 2: The future of museums
