Traditional folk knowledge is a treasure trove for sustainable development. We want to open this treasure chest and offer a new, endless source of opportunities for tourism and education that serves sustainable development. Through the implementation of the project, we want to strengthen cooperation in cultural heritage among three professional institutes. We believe that the rural heritage we share is a resource that offers a number of potential, yet unexplored solutions to the crises of our modern world. We can draw ideas from our past, from the experiences and practical thinking of our predecessors. From time to time, nature and traditions bring about respect, originality and thrift. With this project, we want to show the values of traditional communities that have been forgotten over the past centuries. Those are hidden treasures of ethno-lore, professional knowledge-traditions and regeneration retained in the rural world, which can be revived with patience and humility. The project will achieve expected results through three main activity groups: ETHNO LORE and TOURISM, RESEARCH of ETHNO LORE and ETHNO LORE and EDUCATION. In the ETHNO LORE and TOURISM group, we create a unique exhibition, titled ‘Recycling through millennia’. Through organization of a competition of recycled clothes for a fashion show and a fair for recycled products, the project will provide opportunity to buy these revived treasures. We attract visitors with special craft performances at town festivals and warmly welcome families to enjoy our Family Days. People will be able to get timely information on our programs through our new mobile application. Within the RESEARCH of ETHNO LORE group, we carry out research not only in libraries but by conducting interviews with people who still keep this treasured knowledge in their memories. From all this, we aim to build a database that would serve as an inventory of our shared, multicultural, intangible heritage. We will also create an online museum guide and a book to share this treasure with everybody. Within the ETHNO LORE and EDUCATION activity group, we organise recycling-themed craft workshops and recycling-themed youth camp to educate a heritage-conscious generation. We also organise trainings for teachers to help us in our mission and we include heritage professionals. We organise an international conference on recycling to offer factual, science-based information for sustainable development. (English)
