The FSC decided to enrich the central event – the award ceremony for the best Slavic museum with an accompanying programme. The 100th anniversary of the birth of Keneth Hudson, a great museologist and one of the fathers of industrial museology, was marked in co-operation with a Dutch partner organization EMA
The programme Galis and the platform SlavicMuseums.net were also presented as well as – in co-operation with the colleagues responsible for the European Heritage in Motion Award – the best media achievements in European heritage and tangible and non-tangible culture.
The four-day programme also featured the presentations of the Živa Award candidates for 2016 and judges’ explanations of their work specially emphasizing the five categories that represent the guidelines in their judgement process. A special presentation was prepared by the Živa 2015 winner – the Leo Tolstoy Estate Museum from Yasnaya Polyana in Russia.
This year’s novelty was a museum market where the candidates for the Živa 2016 presented themselves with various promo materials.
The participants took part in a guided tour around Zadar and went to a boat excursion to the Kornati National Park.
A booklet presenting the candidates and judges was published in the framework of the Živa 2016 project.
