Celebrating International Museum Day together!
To mark International Museum Day, Aromas itinerarium Salutis (AIS) launches Discover Pharmacy Museums – 4th Edition “The Storytelling Challenge”.
In line with the ICOM International Museum Day 2025 theme: “The Future of Museums in Rapidly Changing Communities”, the initiative focuses on digital storytelling as a tool to engage evolving audiences through two complementary activities: a practical training workshop and a coordinated social media action.
ACTIVITY 1. Online workshop
"Pharmacy Museums and Storytelling Techniques in the Age of Social Media"
Why this workshop?
Pharmacy museums are increasingly investing in digital communication, but effectively reaching and engaging audiences through platforms like Instagram requires specific skills. Through four interactive sessions, participants will learn how to transform their collections and spaces into engaging digital content, with a particular focus on creating strategic and high-impact Instagram reels.
