Dear Ms Cummins,

ICOM Malaysia will be celebrating international museum day on the 14-21
May in the island of Langkawi. One of the program for this celebration is
a public talk. I'm seeking from ICOM for a speaker for this event. Is
there a possibility for ICOM to sponsor this speaker to come to Langkawi.

I'll be very happy to hear from you soonest.

Thanks & warmest wishes,

Janet Tee Siew Mooi
Hon Secretary
Malaysia National Committee of ICOM


 > ICOM Announces International Museum Day Theme for 2006
>
> “MUSEUMS & YOUNG PEOPLE”
>
> This year, the International Council of Museums (ICOM) is inviting museums
> all over the world to celebrate the theme “MUSEUMS AND YOUNG PEOPLE”, for
> International Museum Day,  on or around May 18th
>
> This year’s theme was selected to raise awareness on how young people
> participate in redefining the mission and practices of heritage
> institutions
> in the 21st century, and how museums can contribute to shaping tomorrow’s
> society by interacting with young people.
>
> As Alissandra Cummins, President of ICOM, states: “Museums can do much by
> recognising the particular conditions of the young people in the community
> they serve and by making the museum experience more available to them.  In
> this way, they can help build understanding based on acquiring knowledge
> of
> the world and act as an outlet for exchange and dialogue.  Young people
> have
> fresh eyes to nurture with everything the world has to offer.  Museums are
> the windows on our world.”
>
> Young people constitute new generations of museum professionals and
> audiences for a new generation of museums, more sensitive to social
> responsibility, ethical practices, community, and fostering intercultural
> dialogue and tolerance.
