Participants will display military-patriotic tours dedicated to the events and feats of World War II, and the Central Museum of the great Patriotic War will show them using VR technology, additionally presenting their unique museum exposition.
The countries are discussing the development of a tour that would introduce tourists to Russian and Serbian folk art crafts. This initiative is quite relevant: 2022 will be the Year of folk art and intangible cultural heritage in Russia. At the “Sajam Turizma” exhibition the theme of folk crafts and trades will be colourfully presented.
With the support of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation and implemented with GlobalRusTrade a folk arts and crafts shop will work at the stand. Visitors will get acquainted with the beautiful works by our artists, and many will be able to take a piece of Russia with them.
The “Folk arts and crafts of Russia” Association will present their educational project “Folk culture ABC”. And at the Russian stand, under the attentive guidance of artists and painters, everyone will be able to participate in workshops and try Gorodetsky, Khokhloma, Mezen or Boretsky handicraft, “Gzhel” and “Zhostovo” style painting, and learn a lot of interesting trade secrets known only to great masters. Additionally, a photo zone is provided to take pictures with a real matryoshka doll, tourist authorities say.
