Toolkit 6: European perspectives on museum objects. Selected examples on the Change of Perspective  The goal of the EMEE project is to uncover the implicit and often hidden European dimension of local museum objects and to visualize the intertwined character of local, regional, national, European, and trans-European layers of historical meanings of museum objects. This approach requires the practice of the Change of Perspective in all areas covered by the five EMEE toolkits. Furthermore, it demands the combination and linking of these five facets.

Toolkit 5: Social Web and Interaction. Social media technologies for European national and regional museums The Toolkit shows that the social web can be used not only for public relations but also for interaction (museum with visitors, museum with non-visitors, visitors among themselves, museum with other institutions). With this Toolkit, visitors and other interested persons will be given a possibility to get involved with the museum’s topics, to discuss, to exchange ideas, to reflect on exhibitions, etc.

Toolkit 4: Synaesthetic translation of perspectives. Scenography - A Sketchbook The Toolkit offers ideas how to present different perspectives not only as text but by means of designing the space, including ideas how to use music, light or even scent. It translates perspectives into other ‘languages’ and allows visitor participation.  

Further toolkits are:

Toolkit 3: Bridging the gap. Activation, participation and role modification The Toolkit deals with the development of different levels of the participation and activation of the visitor (for example hands-on, minds-on, user-generated exhibitions, guided tours conceptualized in the form of a dialogue, participation of different focus groups in the museum work, etc.). It develops programmes to encourage non-visitor groups to get to know the museum’s world. It also provides best practice examples with a focus on trans-regional/European topics.

Toolkit 2: Integrating multicultural Europe. Museums as Social Arenas The Toolkit provides an idea of the museum as a public, noncommercial space that offers possibilities for people to meet, to discuss and to get in touch with the cultural heritage.

On 19-20 March an international conference titled The Year of Aristotle: from hate rhetoric to an inclusive discourse took place in Athens. The different forms of hate speech and hate rhetoric were examined, as well as their causes and consequences.

Education is a lifelong empowerment process, which should help citizens in their intra and interpersonal understanding, achieving personal development and becoming empathic individuals. The UNESCO has possibly summarised it best as "learning to be"- to enable individuals to develop to their fullest potential psycho-socially, affectively as well as physically, for an all-round "complete person".

Museum curators and educators believe that principal function of the museum is to foster learning, but museum visitors’ surveys do not reveal that primary motive of visiting museum is learning. Packer and Ballantyne (2002), distinguish five major motives of visiting museums: learning and discovery, entertainment, recreation, social interaction and self-realization.

Straipsnyje aptariami muziejų lankymo motyvai, kurie dažnai skiriasi nuo muziejų darbuotojų įsivaizduojamųjų. Nežiūrint, kad muziejų pamatinė funkcija yra šviesti visuomenę, tačiau lankytojai į muziejus eina nebūtinai šviestis. Identifikuojamos penkios pagrindinės motyvų grupės: mokymasis ir atradimas, pasyvus pasitenkinimas, rekreacija, socialinė sąveika ir saviraiška, savęs aktualizavimas.
