The Expert Committee of the Museum Bridges program of the Vladimir Potanin Foundation selected winners of the summer cycle competition to attend trainings for museum professionals in Russia and abroad. 51 Russian museum professionals will have an opportunity to get new knowledge and to exchange experience and ideas with their Russian and international colleagues through individual and group trainings.

Oksana Oracheva, General Director of the Vladimir Potanin Foundation:

“The competition reconfirmed the demand for professional dialogue and sharing of best practices in museum community. It is important for us not only to know that communication formats suggested by the Foundation, understand requests of the community, but also to monitor trends in the museum industry. This year we have changed an approach in organizing group trainings. The key subjects of both programs – for museum management and young specialists – are dedicated not to internal museum activities but to best leadership practices. They include strategic planning, communication policy and marketing, fundraising and partnerships building, use of digital technologies and audience development. Lectures on these subjects (October 15-22, 2017), organized in partnership with the British Council and the Polytechnic Museum, will be open for everyone who is interested.”

The competition showed a new trend: museums generate an environment that require new knowledge and practices. For instance, the staff of the Yekaterinburg History Museum submitted seven applications. All of them were shortlisted and three became the winners. The Museum Center Peace Square (Krasnoyarsk), the Astrakhan State History and the Architecture Museum-Resort were presented by three applications each, and all of them were shortlisted. One nominee from each of the museums received the grant.
