Współczesny museion. Edukacja kulturowa z perspektywy uniwersytetu, muzeum, szkoły (Eng. Contemporary museion. Cultural education from a university, museum, school perspective) sets and promotes new trends in education and museology, recognising the learner and viewer not so much as a recipient of ready-made content, but as an active co-creator of culture, discovering their identity and consciously embracing their heritage. […]

An unquestionable advantage of this book is the multi-perspective view of the issues it addresses and the balance between the cognitive and educational dimensions of its message. In other words, it allows the reader not only to acquire extensive knowledge on modern exhibition strategies or ‘commonplaces’ of contemporary museology and Polish Studies and cultural education, but also to gain practical tips […].

The book reveals the possibilities and paths of co-existence between the museum, the university and the school, and reminds us that the co-operation of the aforementioned educational and cultural entities should be the basis of various concepts of social life and the subjective formation of young people.

From the review by dr hab. Joanna Hobot-Marcinek, Professor at the Jagiellonian University

The idea for this volume grew out of numerous conversations, experiences and observations. Pedagogues, museum experts, Polish Language and Literature teachers, educators, university lecturers and school teachers present their findings and demands and theoretical reflection is combined with the identification of solutions derived from practice. The word museion, which appears in the title, is used metaphorically; it does not refer to a real place, but to a space for cultural and educational activity, a space where the effort of various institutions can be combined in synergy.
