Museum evening: ddr. Verena VIDRIH PERKO, What will be our inheritance, since we have shopping centers!

Slovenians experience our cultural heritage all too often as a burden. We remember her mainly during “those big” holidays and when it “comes in handy”. It stands in the way of our renovations, complicates our fast and modern development, spoils our fashionable taste… and hinders us, at least as far as the poor Slovenian language is concerned, in modern communication. However, the Constitution and Slovenian legislation, as well as all international documents, remind us that heritage is a source of knowledge and education, identity and economic development. How is it possible for a town like Kamnik to plan tourism development leaving its rich cultural and natural heritage aside. The lecturer will present contemporary views on the importance of heritage as a social value and on the role of cultural institutions and small, personal inheritances. Within the framework of DEKD and TKD 2024.
