Association of Cultural Heritage Managers
Republic of Hungary
The start of Cultural Heritage Managers goes back to 2012, when the freshly graduated students from the first Hungarian postgraduate heritage manager course decided to create a civil professional organization. Then the heritage profession needed independent platforms organized from bottom-up as well as today, and KÖME became one of the (plat)forming elements: in fact, it wanted to be the pioneer. Since then we broke up some solid panels, we started professional discussions, we swung important but missing topics, we worked out our own trainings, but we stayed unbroken in the commitment of connecting heritage-connected professions, knowledge, colliding views, strengthening the refreshing potential, preparedness, internationality of the national heritage profession.
