Federation of Human Rights Museums Conference

The inaugural FIHRM conference will be held at the International Slavery Museum in Liverpool, UK from 15-16 September 2010.

The conference will be an opportunity for interested museums and institutions to have input into the development of FIHRM as well as focusing on some urgent issues and debates.
Over two days, the conference will explore, through presentations, workshops and debates how museums can be active to combat prejudice and promote human rights and social justice for all.

We are also hoping to secure bursaries to enable museum professionals to attend who are unable to do so due to lack of funding.

We would like to invite you to submit your expressions of interest to attend and or speak at the conference under one of the following key themes:
- Active Communities
- Exhibiting Sensitive Histories
- Museums as Active Campaigners
- Children, Young People and Human Rights
The deadline for submission is 31 March 2010.
