ICTOP

International Committee for the Training of Personnel

Comité International pour la Formation du Personnel

Annual Meeting: Cape Town, South Africa · 8th – 10th October 2006

AFRICA & MUSEUM TRAINING:

CONTINENTAL AND GLOBAL VIEWS

In cooperation with Iziko Museums, AFRICOM and SAMA, South African Museums Association

Patron: Alissandra Cummins, ICOM President.

“It is imperative

that museum trainers abroad and

those in Africa pool their expertise together

so as to ensure cross-fertilization of ideas,

exposure to new techniques and initiatives

and the development of relationships

that will enhance the

course of museums globally.“

EMMANUEL ARINZE, ICOM Study Series, 2002

Museum workers around the world enter the museum community by many different routes and with many different kinds of education and training. Learning opportunities for increasing museum knowledge and skills are often available at different stages throughout their career.

ICOM-ICTOP, the International Committee for the Training of Personnel is concerned primarily with museum-specific knowledge and skills for museum workers of all kinds, and in the excellence and accessibility of training opportunities for workers around the world.

During this meeting in South Africa, participants will look at the variety of programs which are available to Africans and under what conditions those programs are accessible to African museum workers. Workshops will create a template of the range of training possibilities and examine the training issues for African museum workers with a view to identifying ICTOP’s future plans.
