Abstract
Louvre Abu Dhabi Education department has been stepping back to let future creative leaders take over the museum. The Take Over the Museum initiatives provide a platform for the community to tell their stories from their perspective, using the museum collection as a catalyst for interpretation. Over the last two years, the programme has diversified, producing a thriving ecosystem of community participation. Through our training programmes and coaching, teachers and students are empowered to create, produce and engage the public with their digital interventions, performances or creative encounters. Shifting the power paradigm in museum education has proven to build sustainable community engagement and shape future leaders.
