Dear Colleagues,



ICOM Barbados and the International Institute for the Inclusive Museum welcome you to the 5th International Conference on the Inclusive Museum: http://onmuseums.com/conference-2012/

It will be held from the 2nd to the 5th of August, 2012 at The University of The West Indies, Cave Hill Campus in Bridgetown, Barbados. The emerging focus, but not the only one, of the Inclusive Museum Knowledge Community for this year's conference is promotion of research and safeguarding of Diaspora heritage & cultural diversity.


The deadline for the current round of Call for Papers is 17 May 2012: http://onmuseums.com/conference-2012/call-for-papers/

You can access the abstracts of accepted presentations to date on: http://onmuseums.com/conference-2012/sessions/


In-depth museum study visits are combined with the 2012 Crop Over Festival. For Barbadians and visitors who have joined in the summer festival known as Crop Over, there is nothing to compare with the experiences. That is why this one of a kind feeling is described as 'The Sweetest Summer Festival'. For more information on the Crop Over Festival please visit: http://www.barbadoscropoverfestival.com/


Accommodation at The University of West Indies is limited and participants are encouraged to take advantage of the very reasonable rates. Special rates have also been secured at two (2) local hotels, Accra Hotel and Beach Resort and Coconut Court Hotel. http://onmuseums.com/conference-2012/accommodation/ Please check with your local travel agent for a special fare to combine the Conference, Cropover Festival and a summer holiday.
