Improvement of Museum Management
The objective of this Work Package is to enhance competence among museums directors on management issues with specific relevance to archaeological open-air museums, including health and safety issues relating to open-air constructions, working conditions for staff outdoors, environmental and ‘greening’ issues. Other issues include maintenance of reconstructions, access to museums (public transport et cetera), waste management, and for example accessibility and safety issues relating to visitors.
This objective will also include some experiments in applying environmentally friendly and health conscious ways of heating prehistoric houses, focusing both on staff health and opportunities for offering school accommodation in such houses.
Our museums need to improve our routines regarding safety regulations for our staff with clear guidelines in conjunction with our daily work. Themes are:
We will look into the development of both Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality (VR & AR) in open-air cultural environments.
The role of Volunteers is very important to our museums. There is not a single co-ordinator who does not rely on this ‘extra force’, including their social strengths. Some parties, like Foteviken (SE) have much experience with this, reason for them to coordinate this aspect. This will also be about social inclusion of the less advantaged.
There will be an annual seminar in this Work Package, normally linked to a meeting of the Steering Committee.
| • | Health: How can we improve our working conditions regarding a stressful environment in summers? |
| • | Safety: Which risk factors do we have and what can we learn from others to improve? |
| • | Condition for the staff and management: Our work hours, housing conditions, health plans, etc. |
| • | Maintenance of reconstructions in applying environmentally friendly and health conscious ways of heating prehistoric houses, focusing on both staff health and opportunities for offering school accommodation in such houses. What are the best way (best practice) to take care of our reconstructions in a safe way, both for our environment and our staff? |
