What does it look like when a museum truly speaks to young people? When archives stop gathering dust and start sparking genuine curiosity? When art collections stop feeling distant and start feeling personal?
These are the questions driving Sharing What Works — a new webinar series dedicated to showcasing innovative, community-centred museum practices from across the region. Each session brings together practitioners who are doing things differently, offering concrete inspiration and honest insight into what’s actually working on the ground.
We’re kicking things off with two remarkable case studies that couldn’t be more timely.
From Sarajevo, museum pedagogue Aida Šarac Berbić will present the National Gallery of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Youth Museum Theatre — a program that puts adolescents at the centre of the museum experience, inviting them to explore issues they actually care about: identity, belonging, emotional expression, and migration. If you’ve ever wondered how to make an art collection resonate with a teenager, this is a presentation you won’t want to miss.
From Durrës, tourism expert and academic Dr. Brunilda Liçaj will take us inside The Peeping Tourist — an exhibition that transformed Albania’s communist-era tourism archives into a hands-on, gamified adventure for Gen Z visitors. Think historical detective work, personal discovery, and record-breaking visitor numbers. A masterclass in making the “undesirable past” utterly compelling.
Together, these two presentations offer practical, transferable ideas for anyone working in museums, heritage, education, or cultural programming — whether you’re looking to engage young audiences, rethink your collection, or breathe new life into archival materials.
This is the first event in what promises to be an ongoing conversation about excellence and experimentation in museum practice. Come for the ideas, stay for the community.
