Estimado Mario,
creo que es una excelente idea. Algunos pocos museos en Argentina han
promovido desde sus asociaciones de amigos la formación de grupos de jóvenes
amigos de los museos cuyo objetivo precisamente es el de atraer a los
jóvenes e incentivar su colaboración y acercamiento a los museos, desde el
patrocinio.
De la misma manera, entiendo que desde los comités nacionales se podría
promover la creación de un grupo joven del ICOM que estimule a sus pares a
formar parte de la comunidad museológica.
Felicitaciones por la iniciativa!

Subject: ICOM Young Group proposal


A proposal to create youth groups.

I¹d like to put forward the idea of creating youth groups of ICOM
associates.
This idea stems from the fact that many under-40 colleagues that I met all
over the world don¹t feel part of ICOM and maybe are not enough involved in
it, although they are very fond of museums.
The world of museums itself needs renewing. We especially need to encourage
young professionals and give them operational jobs/positions.
How many young people are ICOM¹s members? How many of them do actually take
part in the activities of the various National Committees?
Following the path of many associations in the world, such as, primarily,
the various club services (Rotary, Lions etc), why don¹t create youth groups
within ICOM, with the task, among the others, of involving other young
colleagues?
In order to be effective, national groups (inside National Committees)
should be implemented at least at an earlier stage, in order to promote
co-operation on a territorial base. At a later stage, an international youth
group or committee might be also implemented.
I strongly believe that young people may become a vehicle for ICOM and the
world of museums, provided that we trust them and get them truly involved.

PS: I send this post originally on july 30 to this list but probably it was
lost in the cyberspace. On august 5 I send the same message to the
international museums list Museum-L and from there I receive many positive
response about the idea, so that now we still work on a "manifesto" to
propose at ICOM with the signature of at least 10 ICOM members to delivery
to the General Secretary to propose the Young Professionals Committee (YPC)
I hope that this idea will be appreciate from ICOM management and from all
ICOM members, young...and..."not more young" ;-)
