MuSEA |
|
Culture is recognized as a crucial factor of social development, providing identity, empowerment and the freedom to choose. This is the foundation of MuSEA, a network of museums and other cultural heritage institutions in Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and Sweden, together working to reach out to underrepresented groups and to make cultural heritage visible and accessible as a human right and an important aspect of poverty alleviation. The MuSEA-program runs for 5 years, coordinated by the National Museums of World Culture in Sweden, on assignment of the Swedish International Development Agency, Sida. MuSEA strives to make museums and other cultural heritage institutions real actors of the development cooperation, and the program is based on dialogue and exchange of ideas between the actors in order to integrate different interests and needs. Local ownership is equally important in order to promote sustainability and participation. The idea behind MuSEA departs from the UNDP report Cultural freedom in a multicultural world, where the UN establishes that preserving culture as a positive force is a prerequisite for sustainable and peaceful global development. |
