YOCOCU has become in the last decade a networking and meeting platform where senior and young researchers, professionals and students, all animated by the common goal to preserve and promote cultural heritage, share their experiences, show and discuss their investigation methods, offer their input in research in the different fields of cultural heritage, from the conservation to management. The 2018 YOCOCU conference at Matera (Italy) has been conceived as a forum to promote dialogues and partnerships between scientists, conservators and managers, on one hand, and civic and community non-governmental organizations, on the other. The common ground which museology and education have reached, based on the theory of constructivism, has recently given a new perspective on the cultural education. The use and reuse of cultural heritage in education as a crucial cognitive tool highlighted the need to update the ways in which educators cooperate with the professionals of the museum and also the ways in which young students perceive the cultural heritage.
