Very excited to see what @kajsahartig.bsky.social & friends at Västernorrlands Museum have been up to with their "Smart Heritage Tourism in the High Coast of Sweden" project. We worked with them back in 2022 and they've been busy since! Read the report here:

Heading back towards Stockholm -Arlanda airport shortly. Super inspired by a week of serious and very honest discussions with peers about heritage, storytelling and social sustainability. And also so very happy to find you all museum folks re-grouping here on Bluesky. Cheers from Hamburg Airport!

Day 2 of a workshop full of likeminded people striving to build projects that are less about the museum and more about communities. I’ve found my tribe. ❤️😊

Facilitating a workshop session at Übersée Museum in Bremen tomorrow. Focusing on storytelling as a co-creative process. Borrowed these wise words from one of the offices at the museum today. #digitalcourage

So apparently spending this weekend getting acquainted with Bluesky (left Twitter a while ago). Looks promising!
