The workshop is part of a long-term training programme for the NMEC staff. It is a follow-up to the workshop held in June 2004 and will enhance the staff’s knowledge on new museological concepts, informal learning and preventive conservation.

This workshop will be followed by a two days mission of experts on preventive conservation, architecture, museography, environmental conditions and education to discuss with the architect of NMEC and the Egyptian authorities the spaces dedicated to education and conservation laboratories.
