DESCRIPTION OF THE OPERATION
With the goal of preserving traditional values and the rich cultural heritage of the rural environment, we want to create spaces for the preservation and appreciation of cultural heritage through interactive solutions and intersectoral cooperation with the Living Heritage project. By valuing and presenting the diverse and rich cultural and ethnological heritage, we want to preserve the values that shape the countryside as it is, and at the same time encourage the development of rural tourism in an innovative and authentic way.
The common challenges of the operation are the preservation of the cultural assets of individual areas, ensuring environmental sustainability and enabling an authentic cultural-tourism experience for the residents of the areas and visitors to the individual museum points that will be established during the operation. By establishing the Living Heritage concept, we want to revive the memory of the past in an innovative way, which we will achieve, among other things, by incorporating new environmentally friendly technologies and by creating a tourist offer based on the authentic experience of the visitor. Our priority is to care for the preservation of the natural and cultural environment of the rural area and cooperation based on the development of smart concepts for cultural, leisure and other activities that keep the countryside alive. The Living Heritage concept includes, among other things, the integration of the local population. We will enable the latter in the framework of workshops and lectures, with which we will emphasize the importance of preserving and valuing the cultural heritage of the countryside and the importance of presenting the joint tourist offer of the participating areas. One of the goals of the project is to increase the knowledge and quality of services of tourist and cultural workers who deal with cultural heritage in the countryside. We will also pay special attention to the development of innovative business ideas that will have a beneficial effect on the sustainable development of the areas involved and, above all, on the reduction of the number of unemployed.
