Collaboration and Multivocality in Heritage and Museum Practice: Lessons from Jordan

As part of a research project on how to better engage the young in learning about their past in Jordan, we report on our investigation into what constitutes good museum practice in the Jordanian context. We present some of the results of our work, which focuses on establishing and sustaining partnerships between museums, universities and schools for the purpose of guiding future capacity-building and enhancing standards across the sector. The chapter also sheds light on the benefits of collaborative work across cultures within internationally funded projects, and the importance of maintaining an equal platform for sharing ideas and making decisions.
