Museum With No Frontiers has set up the first and so far, only multi-national online museum with the specific purpose of using better knowledge of art and cultural heritage to facilitate mutual understanding between cultures. Since 2011 our team is composed by volunteers only. Thanks to the help and cooperation of highly competent and enthusiastic people from all around the world, we are able to add a lot of new contents every year and create new opportunities to explore the material contributed by our Partners. For further details please refer to our homepage: www.museumwnf.org
Today we are looking for help for the development of educational resources based on the content published on www.museumwnf.org, namely Virtual Museums, MWNF Galleries and Explore. Visitors to our website should have access to short guides (PDF or eBook) that explain the possibilities to use the MWNF websites as an educational resource; each guide should focus on a specific website, language and target group; for example: Discover Islamic Art, 11 to 14 years, English OR Sharing History 15 to 18 years, French, etc.
Regarding timing we are flexible and can adapt to the volunteers’ possibilities.

Mission Statement
Museum With No Frontiers (MWNF) builds bridges through knowledge and understanding. MWNF has 20 years of experience in "rewriting history" beyond narrow nationalist agendas and promoting a new, inclusive vision of history that highlights exchanges and cooperation between cultures in areas as diverse as archaeology, art and culture, economy and social life. Against the backdrop of contemporary global challenges and conflicts, MWNF projects demonstrate the far-reaching potential of cultural heritage in building intercultural bridges in the name of peace.
Description
Museum With No Frontiers (MWNF) was founded in 1994. Since the beginning, the idea was to overcome any kind of conventional 'border' and to create an exhibition space where well-known and unknown, small and large, secure and insecure, rich and poor could not only coexist but would complement each other, generating mutual benefit for all concerned.
The MWNF program is built around two main activities: the MWNF Virtual Museum including different thematic sections and the MWNF travel guides, focusing on little known aspects of cultural heritage.
MWNF is an independent non-profit organization, relying mainly on volunteer resources. The legal seat is established in Vienna, Austria.
The network set up by MWNF includes public and private Partners from all around the world.
