On October 3, 2023, Tuesday, the second training on Community Curation took place with the participation of experts from the Norwegian University for Green Development. Rhys Evans and Johan Barstad, instructors from the partnering organization, led the event, discussing the distinctive features and challenges of Community Curation. The focus of the second training was on the topic of innovations in working with cultural heritage through community engagement and development. This seminar is a crucial stage in preparation for the upcoming exhibition titled “Satire through the Eyes of Gabrovians.”
A day later, Rhys Evans and Johan Barstad, along with staff from the Museum of Humor and Satire, visited the Disability Club, marking the most touching moment of all their visits to Bulgaria so far.
The Norwegian experts shared their experiences and best practices, enriching practical knowledge about working with diverse communities. An interesting insight was the sharing of the model where in Norway, each community has its representative – a volunteer who represents and advocates for its interests when working with institutions.
