ICARUS Croatia is proud to announce its 10th anniversary of the ICARUS Croatia Days entitled “Networks and routes of cultural heritage – archives as places of stories and history”, in cooperation with ICARUS, Croatian Museum of Tourism and other partners.
Following the experiences of the current Creative Europe programs in which ICARUS Croatia participates as a partner, namely AToM (dealing with documenting and exploring archival heritage from past and present migrations as communication bound between communities, cultures, and time periods) and E-Routes (dealing with innovative ways of presenting traveling sources in context of cultural-historical heritage and the experience of travel as communication that connects places and people through the common experience of sharing cultural heritage, which transcends time, space and borders) this conference will address creative possibilities and collaborative approaches to communicating GLAM holdings, with an emphasis on connecting and networking heritage experts and the community, citizen science projects and the implementation of digital tools in research, presentation, interpretation and promotion of various assets of cultural heritage.
This conference will also showcase international archival projects and programs in the fields of cultural tourism, creative industries, education and lifelong learning, social inclusion and related activities in GLAM institutions, as well as in the artistic, scientific and educational communities related to digital storytelling and teaching, networking and multimedia presentation of historical sources, digital cultural and heritage platforms and current cultural and academic projects, collaborations, networks and initiatives.
Participation in conference is free of charge, while participants bear their own traveling and accommodation expenses. The conference languages are Croatian and English. Additional information and materials on previous conferences are available on ICARUS Croatia’s website.
