The project brings together science museums and research centres in Europe committed to engaging potentially marginalized young and adult citizens in lifelong learning activities.<\/h3>\n

\nThe project questions the social role of museums and the strategies for involving non-traditional audiences and recognizes the broad potential of digital storytelling to support the inclusive role of culture and museums, as well as a tool for assessing the social impact that the activities carried out in cultural institutions can have on citizens.
\nHence the choice of connecting scientific museums and research centres in Italy, Romania and Spain to experiment with digital storytelling as a narrative technique suitable for reaching traditionally marginalized and disadvantaged audiences.
\nMuseum and social mediators are involved in training courses that aim to bring the public closer to the use of new technologies for museum storytelling.
\nDIAMOND also takes the form of pilot projects in the various partner museums -Civic Museum of Zoology in Rome (Italy), \u201cGrigore Antipa\u201d National Museum of Natural History in Bucharest (Romania), \u201cIon Borcea\u201d Museum of Natural Sciences in Bacau (Romania), Museum of Natural Sciences of Valencia (Spain)- aimed at groups of adults coming from different situations but who share characteristics of social marginality.
\nThe results of the project converge in a manual in 4 languages and become the theme of a Grundtvig training course aimed at 20 professionals in the museum\/ social sector.
\nThe project was selected by the Lazio Region among the \u201c2016 Good Cultural Practices\u201d to be disseminated for the use of cultural resources.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1756897985497{padding-bottom: 60px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n
