The title “Old questions, new answers: Quality criteria for museum education” was challenging enough to gather 150 participants from 46 countries. The aim of the Conference was to consider issues for quality criteria ad- dressing various aspects of museum education – from museum staff edu- cation and the educational role of museums to carrying out programs for various visitors. Papers within the Conference were divided into groups according to topics, namely as research contributions, short reports with innovative ideas and practices in the “Market of Ideas” panel, posters, free presentations and video presentations. The Conference in Zagreb saw two novelties: the first were pre-conference workshops – one of which focused on working with visitors and was led by Gina Koutsika from the Imperial War Museum in London while the other focused on family programs accompanying exhibitions – best prac- tice examples led by Susan Nichols from the Smithsonian American Art Museum and Renwick Gallery in Washington. The workshops were envis- aged as part of the program of mutual education and exchange of knowl- edge between CECA members and were free of charge for all participants. The other novelty was live streaming of the CECA Conference on Septem- ber 20, 2011. The fact that this was the first live streaming of an ICOM conference makes use

The Congress and the President were prompted to establish the Commission because of the special problem faced by Jewish sites in the region: The communities that had once cared for the properties were annihilated during the Holocaust. The atheistic Communist Party dictatorships that succeeded the Nazis throughout most of the region were insensitive to American Jewish concerns about the preservation of the sites.

As a capital and a big city which also has a county status, the City of Zagreb runs a large budget which affects the lives of all its inhabitants, and, indirectly, those of the country as a whole. Since you also contribute to the Zagreb budget, you are expected to be in- terested in the way of allocating and spending its resources. Should the City of Zagreb invest more or less, or should it invest in a different way in education or social welfare, public order and safety, environmental protec- tion or public transport…? Who can provide better answers to these (and numerous other) questions than the citizens themselves? In order to participate in budget deliberations, you need information and knowledge about the budget and budget processes.
