This autumn, the Forum of Slavic Cultures will confer the seventh Živa Award for the best Slavic museum and the third for the best Slavic heritage site. As many as 22 museums from 12 Slavic countries will be running for the awards this year.

Organised by the International Foundation Forum of Slavic Cultures, the exhibition Transformations: FROM the Slavic Clothing Tradition TO Modern Creations will be on show at the Ljubljana City Hall until 8 March.

The Slavic Groves (Slovanski gaji) project and accompanying programmes bring opportunities for active participation of local communities, civil society, state institutions and the FSC. At the initial meeting of the partners in the project, the mayors and representatives of the Pomurje municipalities got to know the project and gave green light for its beginning.

The FSC began the year with intensive preparations for the launch of a new cultural route – Women Writers Route. The President of the Programme Council of the Route, Ankica Puškarić, came to the FSC headquarters for a working meeting.
