On the invitation of the Network of European Museum Organisations (NEMO), Luca Jahier, President of the European Economic and Social Committee, will join the museum staff at the Royal Museums of Turin in Italy on 24 May 2019. He will get hands on experience from various departments of the museums and to see the full spectrum of what museums do beyond the exhibition rooms.

NEMO invited President Jahier to participate in the NEMO Political Internships in Museums programme since he has made culture a top priory of his presidency. The internship will give the President a unique behind the scenes experience of the Royal Museums of Turin as well as of the museum sector’s contribution to every day social cohesion, education and development.

The museum advocacy initiative NEMO Political Internships in Museums has been organised by NEMO since May 2018. The aim of the EU-level political internship programme is to build a sustainable relationship with stakeholders, by showcasing the diversity and social importance of museums.
