"I really enjoyed being part of an international group of young professionals, who work in the museum field or deal with museology and public history in their academic research. We got the chance to meet numerous world-known exhibition makers and visited and analyzed award-winning museums and exhibitions. The combination of thereotical aspects and practical engagement with various forms of exhibiting contemporary history helped us to dive deep into discussions and reflections and gave us inspirations for further exhibition projects."
