Description of initiative
The Inclusive Memory project aims at promoting the building of a common shared social memory realised through a museum based social inclusive system, through the link Art-Health-Wellbeing. It is based on the concept which sees museums as teaching and learning environments, and Universities as active social actors, both strengthening their role of cultural integration facilitators. The core idea of the project stems from the potential benefits of the cooperation between HEIs, Health and Social care Institutions and Museums, as a strategic partnership to advance in museum education as well as in museum experience in order to support the design, realization, monitoring and evaluation of art-based activities and actions specifically addressed to people with social care and health problems.

The main expected outcomes of the Inclusive Memory project are:
- the development of a theoretical framework on the museums as inclusive spaces and on the use of technology for inclusive art-based activities for wellbeing and health promotion. This will generate: 1) the state of the art on inclusive museums for health and well-being and 2) a handbook addressed to different kind of professionals (healthcare, social care, school teachers and museum operators) on the use of technology for art-based activities for well-being and health promotion;
- the realization of a pilot phase of training HEIs students from university partners in which future museum professionals, social care givers, school teachers and healthcare personnel can promote professional and transverse skills and abilities in the field
- the creation of IM (Inclusive Memory) OERs and IM (Inclusive Memory) MOOC, which will contribute to the training of university students, museum professionals, social care givers, school teachers and healthcare personnel
- the realization of permanent labs/installations and activities designed to guarantee inclusiveness in the museums and promotion of health and Well-being within different categories of users;
- the creation of a video storytelling database to conserve the memory of the experiences at the museum.
- a set of new assessment tools tailored on the project but transferable in similar or related contexts and which will add expertise on assessment methodologies;
- a network of actors in different countries from HEIs and museums which work together to promote social inclusion through the link Art-Health-Wellbeing;
- 7 different multiplier events in the partner countries that will disseminate the project results and the IM canon for the training of future museum professionals, social care givers, school teachers and healthcare personnel in the field of Heritage for well-being and health development.
