What does it look like when a museum truly speaks to young people? When archives stop gathering dust and start sparking genuine curiosity? When art collections stop feeling distant and start feeling personal?

These are the questions driving Sharing What Works — a new webinar series by our partner, the Balkan Museum Network. Dedicated to showcasing innovative, community-centred museum practices from across the region, each session brings together practitioners who are doing things differently, offering concrete inspiration and honest insight into what’s actually working on the ground.

The series started on April 24, 2026, with two speakers: Brunilda Liçaj from Durrës, who took us inside The Peeping Tourist, and Aida Šarac Berbić from the National Gallery of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Youth Museum Theatre.

The second session, “Bridging Worlds: Museum Education and Digital Ethics in the Modern Museum,” will take place on May 7 at 2:00 PM CET via Google Meet. Sladjana Velendečić and Tatjana Ljubojević from the Museum of Vojvodina will share how puppet theatre and illustrated storytelling can transform a permanent exhibition into a formative experience for children aged four to ten — making heritage accessible, engaging, and meaningful for the youngest audiences.
Meanwhile, doctoral researcher and conservator Arman Džaferagić from Bremerhaven will bring a critical perspective on digital heritage tools, examining whether widespread 3D digitisation meets the scientific and ethical standards of the London Charter — and outlining a path forward through semantic frameworks, human expertise, and CARE principles for Indigenous data sovereignty.

For the third session, on May 14, 2026, Sara Sopić will present the award-winning exhibition of the Museum of Yugoslavia (Belgrade), and Uroš Dokl will present the exhibition of the Museum of National Liberation Maribor.
Further details about this session will be announced shortly on the BM Network website.

Whether you work in museums, heritage, education, or cultural programming, these sessions offer practical and transferable ideas from colleagues who are experimenting, reflecting, and sharing what works.
