The Institute of the Peoples of the North of the A. I. Herzen Russian State Pedagogical University together with the M.K. Ammosov North-Eastern Federal University are working on the creation of a "Virtual museum of Traditional Culture of indigenous Peoples of the North, Siberia and the Far East of the Russian Federation."
The combined project, the idea of which arose in the process of discussing the need to digitalize the linguistic and cultural heritage of the indigenous peoples of the North, is designed to promote the preservation of their culture and the involvement of students, employees of cultural institutions and local residents in the work "on the ground".
In the process of creating a virtual museum, a portal with three-dimensional models will be created. To fill it, it is planned to conduct expeditions to local history museums, ethnocultural centers and reindeer herders' camps, the Institute of Peoples of the North reported.
The celebration began with the All–Russian action "Museum Days on Amur" - museum workers from Kaliningrad to Chukotka gathered to share their experience
Every year, reindeer herders from the camps gather in villages to see their relatives and demonstrate their skills in traditional competitions for the northern peoples
Authorities in Norway's northernmost county, Finnmark, have put forward an unusual proposal. They have asked the European Commission to create a separate time zone that would add two hours to the day in the region
Applications for participation in the second All–Russian competition for the best trip "Far East - Land of Adventures" will begin in May, Deputy Prime Minister and Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the Far Eastern Federal District Yuri Trutnev told reporters
