Description

PPC12/P1: Ecomuseum Director

The Ecomuseum Director is a specialized professional, characterized by a high intellectual level and ability to manage complexity. His skills are divided into two main areas: the management of the ecomuseum heritage and the development of ecomuseum itineraries.

This figure deals with the identification, cataloging and in-depth knowledge of the material and immaterial cultural heritage, highlighting its meaning through interpretation and documentation. Its responsibility also includes the conservation and protection of heritage, ensuring its protection for future generations and actively working for its enhancement.

In the development of ecomuseum itineraries, the Ecomuseum Director demonstrates a strong creative ability in conception and planning, actively involving the community and other interested parties. This role also requires skills in the practical implementation of projects, effective communication strategies to promote them, and careful management that includes the evaluation of ecomuseum quality and the identification of opportunities for improvement. The figure of the Ecomuseum Director is therefore distinguished by a holistic and multidisciplinary approach, which embraces both cultural and environmental protection, sustainable development and community involvement.

The Ecomuseum Director can carry out his activity both in public and private bodies and as a self-employed person, also as an Expert/Consultant.

Note: In the field of ecomuseology, an Ecomuseologist can specialize in two distinct areas: that of Ecomuseum Director and that ofExpert in Ecomuseum Paths. These specializations represent the two main professional directions for an Ecomuseologist.

For a correct identification of the specific skills, abilities and knowledge of each specialization in the ecomuseum sector, two professional profiles have been defined:

Profile P1: Ecomuseum Director
Profile P2: Expert in Ecomuseum Tours

Note:

A professional is recognized as an Ecomuseologist if he has the skills and training necessary to carry out the activities associated with at least one of the two profiles mentioned.
Although the two profiles are distinct, they are not incompatible with each other; they differ mainly in terms of specific operational and sectoral responsibilities.
An Ecomuseologist can operate in one or both of the indicated areas, depending on his training and experience.”

VII level of the European Qualifications Framework

Profile Evaluation Criteria

To certify the possession of skills, it is proposed to take into consideration methodologies that take into account the following aspects in a non-mutually exclusive manner, i.e. possibly in combination with each other:

Qualifications awarded in the academic field (Formal Learning)
Specific Training (Non-Formal Learning)
Work or Professional Experience (Informal Learning)

Regarding qualifications, unless specifically requested by (eco)museum administrations, exceptions could be considered. Given the diversity of themes, objectives, sizes and types of (eco)museums, if an individual can demonstrate that they have acquired the necessary skills through life and work experiences, a specific academic qualification may not be essential. (*)

(*) In this regard, it is reported when indicated in point 15 of the National Charter of museum professions drawn up by ICOM (2008):

As a rule, the skills required of the various professional figures correspond to the possession of certified educational qualifications (diplomas, degrees, masters, etc.). However, there are museums which, by type and/or mission, require skills that can only be acquired through life and work experiences. In these cases, justified exceptions are possible by the responsible administrations, in relation to the request for specific qualifications. Personnel who already work in museums and who have gained adequate knowledge and skills during their work experience will be able to usefully attend training courses in order to update their preparation as indicated in the profiles.

Work or professional experience can be demonstrated through various tools including:

Curriculum Vitae
Professional portfolio
Objective placement on the market (awards, regional, national or international recognition)
Publications (scientific or editorial)

Requirements for access to the professional figure

Since the professional figure is not organized in an order or college, the requirements may vary based on the relevant Professional Association or other criteria established by the individual interested parties. Below are the requirements adopted by AITOC - Italian Association of Tourism Professionals and Cultural Operators.

Reference diagram: Ecomuseum Director (SP/TAH-CF/PPC12/P1)

Having attended specific training courses for the professional figure in question organized/recognised by Universities, Regions or professional associations established pursuant to law 4/2013 and recognized by the Ministry of Business and Made in Italy (ex MISE) and at least six months, even if not continuous, of proven work or professional experience in the relevant sector.

Degree in one of the disciplines related to the ecomuseum and at least three years, even if not continuous, of proven work or professional experience as ecomuseum director

At least 3 years of proven work or professional experience in the ecomuseum field and having attended supplementary training courses to update one's preparation as required by the professional figure in question

Be included in the Registers of Professional Associations established in accordance with recognized national legislation, provided that they refer to the professional figure. In Italy the requirement is met if the professional is included in a register held by professional associations established pursuant to law 4/2013 and recognized by the Ministry of Enterprise and Made in Italy (ex MISE) and has obtained a Quality and Qualification Attestation Professional under the law 4/2013
