discussion between ICOM Belarus, ICOM Germany and

additional CD.
Working group and seminars will be lead by German museum
experts.

in essential functions that any museum has to perform to fulfil its
mission;
2. Development and implementation of international professional
standards for museums as social and educational institutions.
3. Encouraging international collaboration between museums and
museum professionals
4. Strengthening of international network structures.
5. Providing of broad discussion on current concerns and prospects
for museum development and museum-to-museum partnership.
Handbook and CD:
During the project will be realized a German-Russian handbook and
additional CD which will be devoted to current issues of museum
practice and analyse the museums’s role as social and
communicative institution, focussing Belarus.
Museums have always been points of access to knowledge about
cultures and centres of formal and non-formal education; they
contribute to mutual understanding and social cohesion, and as are
essential for sustainable human development. They help us to
understand where our societies come from, and apprehend our
common future. Having in mind this background, the edition will
focus on the problem of interaction of museums and society and
their role as centres of knowledge and education
This project will be seen as a landmark to strengthen the capacity
of Belarusian museums in responding to the challenges of the XXI
century.
