The Institute of Ethnology and Folklore Research (IEF), academic host, joins with Korčula’s Tourist Board and other local representatives, to welcome all participants of the 28th symposium of the ICTM Study Group on Ethnochoreology. This is the second symposium that the IEF in Zagreb along with local hosts on Korčula have collaborated to make possible an ethnochoreology gathering on the historically rich island of Korčula, along the Adriatic coast of Croatia. In the year 2000, the 21st symposium was a record-breaking event in its attendance welcoming new dance researchers into the Study Group, and again in this 28th biennial meeting, the Study Group has another record-breaking number of participants, many of them international students participating in their first meeting, to mingle with senior members who participated in the 21st symposium.
