RE-ORG Belgium EDITION III (2019-2020)

You are a Belgian museum and the situation of your storage keeps you up at night? You would like to improve your situation but you don’t know where to begin? Plus, you don’t have lots of human nor financial resources? Engage in the RE-ORG Belgium EDITION III! The RE-ORG Method helps you find ways to use your space more efficiently, using low-cost and creative solutions to address the issues you are facing.

During one year and a half, you will reorganize one of your storage areas thanks to the RE-ORG Method, a step-by-step guide written by ICCROM and CCI. To help you in this task, you will benefit from RE-ORG coaches’ experience and know-how. Furthermore, you will gain practical experience by reorganizing a storage during a 5-day workshop in Brussels. The training and the general meetings are organized and coordinated by the Preventive Conservation Unit of KIK-IRPA.

English is the main communication language but the participants are allowed to deliver reports in their mother tongue.

The registration fee is €500 per museum (for two participants).

Important note: RE-ORG was specially designed for professionals who are working in museums with a lack of human and financial resources. You do not have to work full-time on your storage reorganization. The RE-ORG Method was designed for teams of 2 people minimum, working about 1~2 day(s)/week on their RE-ORG project.
