Whilst we have been very pleased with the response that we have had to our call for abstracts for the 17^th PASCAL conference in Taipei, a number of colleagues have requested an extension of the deadline. Therefore we are now announcing a new deadline of 1 April 2024 for further abstracts.

We are pleased to publish PASCAL Briefing Paper 22, entitled Harnessing Museums, Heritage and Education. PASCAL’s Learning Cities Network (LCN) on Harnessing Museums, Heritage and Education builds upon our prior Special Interest Group in cultural heritage and literacy inclusion, to now combine rich museum theory with innovative field-based practices. We engage with diverse stakeholders, including universities, world-leading museum and heritage sites, and governmental stakeholders, to address increasing needs for more informed, strategic and entrepreneurial professionals within the cultural heritage sector, and dialogical spaces for knowledge exchange on inclusive cultural literacy and practice.
