Dear all,
I believe that the idea of creating a Young Professional Group within ICOM
is an excellent opportunity to re-examing our strategical actions in order
to become a better organisation for us and for museums.
International Committees bring us the ocassion to discuss among
professionals (young and old) from all over the world specifical interest
areas. The discussions in National Committees are quite different, as
everybody knows.
Regional Organizations focus the discussions in a different way than the
International and National Committees.
By this time me and my colleagues from the Young Professional Group mailing
list, we´re trying to find a way for ourselves that has nothing to do with
national, international or regional committees interests.
A Young Professional Group is not a thread but an opportunity for the
organization: it´s a space where professionals (young and old) can exchange
ideas in order to join young professionals and new professions to ICOM. But
we need to know which are there interests, expectations, how can we meet
them and what they can do for ICOM.
I´m over the forties (actually I´m near my fifties), I´m not young, I´m not
old, I finished the University 20 years ago, but I keep on studyng: new
tools, new approaches, new ideas. Why shouldn´t we consider this proposal?
I would like to remember that Mario Bucolo created a discussion list for
this topic, so If you are willing to keep on with this brainstorm please see
below Mario´s mailing address. Have a nice weekend and forgive my poor
english since spanish is my mother tongue.
