CreMA Erasmus+ project – Recommendations and IOs 1-6

Here are recommendations and IOs 1-6 we have developed and disseminated during Erasmus + CreMa – CREative MAking for Lifelong Learning –(2019-2022).


In 2019, seven cultural institutions and organisations launched a three-year project to explore the development of makerspaces in museums and the possibilities of implementing creative community events based on these collections, organized primarily for adults. The project is led by the Regional Museum Skåne from Sweden. Its partners are the Finnish Museums Association, the Museum of Copenhagen from Denmark, the Creative Museum think tank from Latvia, the NGO Radiona from Croatia, BAM! Strategie Culturali from Italy and the Hungarian Open Air Museum from Hungary. The participants contributed their specific organisational competences to the development of the project themes. However, they also had to adapt to the consequences of the coronavirus epidemic from 2020.

The process implemented can also be interpreted as a methodological development. The work started with the mapping of different makerspaces, followed by professional workshops and conferences on five themes, in addition to continuous discussions. Each of the topics was led by one partner and tested in practice, as well as set out in guidelines. The development covers the following themes:

  • using museum material in creative making,
  • engaging new audiences,
  • entrepreneurship and innovation,
  • intergenerational learning,
  • people with special needs.

In addition, a summary analysis is prepared to facilitate an easier overview of the topics, and published in a document containing all the guidelines and a methodological introduction. The documents are be available in English and are for free download online here:
