The GLAMers
Title: The GLAMers
DURATION: 2021–2023
PROGRAMME: Erasmus +
The GLAMers project is about youth engagement in Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums during the COVID-19 crisis.
The cultural and creative sector was severely hit in Europe by the COVID-19 crisis. Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums (GLAMs) are now facing the disruption of their relationship with their audiences. Yet, many young people followed remote digital activities organised by GLAMs to support them, demonstrating that they are ready to take an active role in the support of cultural and creative sector. The GLAMers project aims to enhance GLAMs through youth involvement by providing uses cases emphasizing youth engagement as a means of GLAM recovery, create an open access collection of digital resources, map social change and disseminate the actions by events involving youth audiences.
