Co-creating for an inclusive museum culture

The Museum for Communication in Bern has the strategic goals of being more responsive to the diversity of the community and contributing to a more inclusive society. Participation means that we do not work and decide for our visitors (actual and future), but rather seek dialogue and innovative ways to create with them. Pilot projects such as the “Minilabor” set up in a day-care, or the multilingual, multimedia “Sketchbook”, which documents a participatory process, emerge from this attitude, and put co-creation at its core. Co-creation helps make diversity and inclusion “visible”, and not just empty words or “sales pitch.”
