PEDAALI ANNUAL AWARD IN MUSEUM PEDAGOGY

With its annual award, Pedaali wants to promote museum education and to raise awareness of public engagement work among the general public.

The association’s board selects the winner out of the projects suggested before the set deadline. Anyone can send suggestions. People can even suggest their own work. However, the award is granted to a topical project or practice, so a person cannot be suggested.

The award includes a trophy and a diploma.
