The book and mobile application for smartphones to ethnographic trips along the Polish-Slovakin borderland
In the second half of January 2018 a guide book "On the Trails of Tradition" was published with a mobile application for smartphones. This 168-page publication and application in three languages: Polish, Slovak and English are devoted to the following places: chambers, galleries, museums, laboratories, open-air museums connected with the cross-border Polish-Slovak cultural heritage.
When in 2005 we published the guide „Na szlakach tradycji / Po cestach tradícií” – you could read in the introduction – it turned out to be a great hit. After a dozen or so years, the subject is no longer new, many publications have appeared, book or internet of a similar character. However, we decided to take a chance and enter the same river one more time to see what changes appeared. It has changed indeed. Some of the places do not exist any more; others have evolved and are undertaking new tasks, implementing new projects; there are also some which did not exist at that time, and today they attract with very interesting offer. You – the reader – hold the effect in your hands. You can find it also on your smartphones.
Both the book and the application are addressed to the inhabitants of the Polish-Slovak borderland, including employees of partner institutions (Regionalny Ośrodek Kultury in Bielsko-Biała and Oravské kultúrne stredisko in Dolný Kubín), ethnographers, cultural animators, folk artists, folklore lovers and all interested.
