"The fact that I became the only representative of Ukrainian museums at the Programme encourages me to study theories of curating Contemporary history more purposefully as most Ukrainian museum institutions still rely on the theory of museology less than should be the case.
The time spent during these two weeks in conversation with lecturers, curators and museum practitioners was very valuable – it was a good opportunity to study, share, compare and discus our experiences with the aim to identify the current trends of the exhibiting of Contemporary history in EU, non-EU countries and the USA, the specific differences, common problems and challenges that museums and exhibitions encounter in everyday practice. Perspectives of networking and the wide list of relevant literature provided the participants with additional possibilities for studying."
