“Museum of Yugoslavia - Where the voice of the community has a real impact?!” Sara Sopić and Aleksandra Momčilović Jovanović, Museum of Yugoslavia

Primarily based on three case studies some of the most influential and participatory oriented museum projects: Hedgehog’s Home – inventing a better world , Museum laboratory, Gastarbeiter stories, this workshop will focus on the methodology that has been used for these projects aimed to make the Museum of Yugoslavia a place that share power with representatives of different communities allowing real impact on museum content and event management. Being fully aware that even in this cases when projects are meant from the beginning with this logic process can lead to many challenges and frustration and even though results are important steps in the field of museum studies and internal museum organisation there is always space for improvement and reflection, and where better then in Tivat on Meet See Do conference? Workshop will from one side introduce these valuable experiences from recent practices to colleagues and on the other create a space where participants of this workshop can be seen as representatives of a community of experts from the museum field that can give their important input through a series of live debates and games. Using the methodology developed in work with young audience, marginalised groups, heritage communities, contemporary artist, learning from mistakes and experiences that we had in Museum of Yugoslavia, we hope to engage curators and attendees who come from different spheres of museum and heritage work with aim to create dynamic platform that will evolve around mutual perception of  “ideal museum”.
