Field projects using the OCM toolkit are being carried out around the world to demonstrate the great potential of collections-based organizations to make concrete contributions towards sustainable development in all its dimensions. The projects cover different types of collections and address different sustainability aspirations and challenges through collections-based work. This fieldwork also enables the gathering of invaluable data and observations to inform the development of training modules for future courses and other capacity development activities. The results of the OCM field projects completed to date are presented below.
