A space for meaningful co-creation
Our approach is guided by our core purpose, which is to bring together different perspectives and give space to diverse voices for the benefit of all.
In keeping with this philosophy, each of our exhibitions, activities and events is a collaborative process involving the humanitarian, cultural and academic spheres.
By becoming a partner, your company or organization will be lending its weight to our vision of the Museum as a space for meaningful co-creation:
- a place for collaborative reflection on our common humanity, in times of crisis and in everyday life
- a coherent and purposeful ecosystem, open to all, with strong roots in the community it serves
- a museum that works to raise the profile of the Fundamental Principles guiding the world’s largest humanitarian movement.
There are many different ways to become a partner of the Museum.
We are always willing to explore custom arrangements and work with you on a project that benefits both of our organizations.
To discuss your options, please get in touch with Anne-Outram Mott, Director of External Relations.
