WFFM MEETINGS & EVENTS
One of WFFM’s primary roles is to cultivate lines of communication between member associations and to promote the idea of Friends of museums worldwide.
This is why WFFM supports a number of diverse events and initiatives, such as meetings, conferences and congresses on such topics as fundraising, volunteer work, educational activities and so on.
WFFM promotes the exchange of information between associations of Friends of museums through an annual Council and General Assembly Meeting held once or twice a year, and an International Congress held every three years in different places of the world.
The annual meetings, open only to WFFM members, are held in different countries each year: the host WFFM member usually organises, at the same time, seminars of interest to Friends as well as other cultural and social events.
The International Congresses provide an excellent forum for Friends of museums to meet and exchange information and ideas with experts such as museum curators, men and women of letters and culture, authors, architects, archaeologists, historians...
