AHEAD Multiplier Event in Athens
As we enter the concluding weeks of this inspiring project, the multiplier event will be an opportunity to share results, reflect on lessons learned, and celebrate achievements with the community. Over the past two years, HERITΛGE has worked with AHEAD’s Greek hub, the Archaeological Museum of Messara in Crete, on a wide range of activities — including labs, talks, and the development of prototype experiential museum experiences. An artist with ties to the location, Elektra Angelopoulou, was selected to co-create an experience with the local community and offer innovative insights.Through these collaborations, AHEAD explored innovative ways to engage local audiences and make heritage more inclusive, accessible, and participatory, with the dual aim of reaching new audiences and equipping cultural heritage managers with the skills to sustain them.
The evening will open with a presentation of the AHEAD project, its outcomes, and the use of design thinking for the development of cultural heritage audiences. Elektra Angelopoulou, will highlight the artistic dimension of the project, sharing insights into her co-creation work with local communities.
Participants will be invited to take part in an informal networking session over drinks and snacks — a chance to exchange ideas and forge new connections.
The AHEAD Multiplier Event will bring together cultural professionals, institutions, creative SMEs, NGOs, policymakers, and community members to discuss how heritage can become more accessible and relevant to diverse audiences.
We are delighted to celebrate the culmination of this important journey and to share AHEAD’s results with you, our partners, stakeholders, and the public.
