The Ministry of Culture held a meeting to sum up results of the last year. The meeting also focused on new forms of promotion of Belarusian culture in the world and on Belarus’ image both at home and abroad. The big meeting took place at the National Library of Belarus.
Information technology should be the essential part of the promotion of national projects. Particular attention was paid to the creation of web sites translated into various languages, as well as other Internet platforms, such as social media.
Among other things, the Ministry also discussed the contracts that have been signed. In 2011, 11 international contracts were signed in culture. This figure is expected to increase. The main tasks are to boost the export of services, to increase salaries for all those who work in culture, and to attract sponsorship.
