\u00a0Professor Wojciech \u015aleszy\u0144ski, Director of the Sybir Memorial Museum, expressed his delight at Bia\u0142ystok and the museum having the honour of hosting such a significant event:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is a great honour not only for us at the Sybir Memorial Museum but also for the entire city. I warmly welcome you all, especially the representatives of Europe\u2019s finest museums. You are a great family that speaks not only of the past but also of the present and the future. You bear the responsibility of educating and passing on knowledge to future generations,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deputy Minister of Culture and National Heritage, Marta Cienkowska, drew attention to the symbolism of the location in the context of today\u2019s challenges:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI would like to welcome you all here in Bia\u0142ystok. There could hardly be a more symbolic venue for this conference, particularly at a time when Europe and the world are witnessing Russia\u2019s aggression against democratic Ukraine. Here, where history speaks with a human voice, we feel even more strongly the importance of defending our European community,\u201d she emphasised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tadeusz Truskolaski, Mayor of Bia\u0142ystok, proudly declared that the city had become the capital of European museology and that the Sybir Memorial Museum represents not only Bia\u0142ystok and the region, but Poland and Europe as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u201cI am convinced that the European Museum Forum\u2019s decision to hold the conference in Bia\u0142ystok is no coincidence. It underlines the importance of our institution within the museum sector. As the Mayor of Bia\u0142ystok, I am proud of our museum and consider the decision to build it one of the best we\u2019ve ever made,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0Wies\u0142awa Burnos, Deputy Marshal of the Podlaskie Voivodeship, referenced the conference\u2019s theme, underscoring the mission of museums in preserving cultural heritage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is a great honour to welcome so many distinguished guests to the capital of our beautiful region. This year\u2019s theme, \u2018Remembrance and Solidarity for Collective Action\u2019<\/em>, perfectly encapsulates the essence of museology. Museums are the guardians of historical memory. Thanks to your work, your dedication and passion, the past of our nations \u2013 their creativity and history \u2013 will not be forgotten,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the official opening, the day continued with a series of inspiring presentations and four panel discussions featuring representatives of esteemed European museums from Denmark, Portugal, Ukraine, Turkey, Sweden, Norway, the United Kingdom, and many others, including winners of prestigious awards such as EMYA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first day of EMYA2025 focused on the role of museums in nurturing cultural identity and collective memory. Panel discussions explored inclusive museum practices, overcoming social barriers, and integrating science and technology into historical narratives. Participants also examined the significance of museums in fostering urban democracy and civic engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Integral to the conference were the breaks between sessions, which offered valuable opportunities for networking, exchanging experiences, and engaging in lively conversations sparked by the presentations. These informal moments fostered connections that may well lead to future collaborations. The day concluded with a dinner, providing a relaxed and intimate setting for continued dialogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
