Inclusion at the JMB

Our Museum is Strengthening its Organizational Development with a Focus on Diversity and Participation.

Inclusion is one of four strategic goals of the Jewish Museum Berlin (JMB). In addition to our existing inclusive programs, we aim to build museum-wide awareness of inclusion and diversity and to integrate their implementation into our everyday museum practice.

The JMB is Part of the PRISMA Program

Following a successful application, the JMB was selected to participate in the “PRISMA – Program to Strengthen Diversity and Cultural Participation in Museums”, an initiative of the Kulturstiftung der Länder (Cultural Foundation of the German Federal States). This marks a further important step toward anchoring inclusion and diversity in our long-term strategic priorities.

The 15-month program will include workshops, individual consultations, peer-to-peer networking and a conference series. It offers us the opportunity to further develop our strategic process toward becoming a diversity and inclusion-oriented institution. We look forward to working with 14 other participating museums from across Germany to define specific goals and practical next steps.

PRISMA

The acronym stands for participation, resilience, inclusion, solidarity, multiple perspectives, and agility
