Pecica is a Romanian city near the border, with a population of 14124 people. Mórahalom is a sub-regional centre in Csongrád County, southern Hungary, with a population of 6290 people. The local administrations of the two cities have a long term relationship and have the intention to continue the cooperation with this project.Strengthening relations and improving the efficiency of institutional cooperation in preserving traditions and promoting the local traditions from each side of the border in their own community – mostly from the old to the young generation, are the main challenges the project is jointly talking about. The overall objective of the project is to intensify the cross-border cooperation between the communities from Pecica and Mórahalom in the cultural field, aiming to present, preserve and promote old and new local traditions on both sides of the border.The first specific objective of the project is to enhance cross-border cooperation between the communities in Pecica and Mórahalom in the field of local traditions, for their knowledge, transmission and promotion both in their own locality and in the locality of the project partner.To fulfill this objective the project partners will organise 7 events, 3 in Pecica and 4 in Morahalom. During these events, the participants from both sides of the border will prepare and present specific dishes, related to the season of the event, will present old and new local cultural traditions related to those periods of the year. Five project events, consisting in activities that will be realised as parts of important local events hold each year in the two cities, and the new event created will continue after the project implementation, the sustainability of them will be ensured by the two project partners.Each event will bring together participants and audience from Pecica and from Mórahalom.Another project activity that will contribute to fulfill this specific objective will be the realization of two bilingual publications, a book and a calendar about local traditions from Pecica and Mórahalom. These publications will be distributed to participants in project activities. The second specific objective of the project is to intensify the cultural cooperation between Pecica and Mórahalom through the initiation of a new type of cooperation that we want to become a future cultural tradition. It is about the “Art without Borders” event, which is an annual exhibition that will be organized with the works of contemporary artists of Pecica and Morahalom in both cities.The target group of the project the population from Pecica and from Mórahalom: the two public administrations, the two project teams and especially the people involved in carrying out the project activities, and also the audience of the events.The project will enable the participants to the events to jointly prepare traditional dishes, taste them, dance and perform in folk dances and folklore performances, participate in traditional agricultural activities and present or follow cultural traditions in the two cities.The project will start a new form of cultural cooperation between contemporary artists from Pecica and Mórahalom, which will have the opportunity to jointly bring together annual exhibitions in both cities.Two of the events of the project aim to transmit traditions from the elderly to younger generations, with the result of keeping traditions related to the traps and the day of Saint Lucia. These are the only events that will not continue after the project implementation. Instead, six events will continue after the implementation period of the project, three on each side of the border.The project will realize 6 sustainable multiannual events, 3 in Pecica and 3 in Mórahalom, to be continued after the project implementation.Other project results will be the bilingual publications on cultural traditions in the two areas of the project, namely 300 books and 300 calendars, to be distributed to participants to project activities.The expected changes the project will make to the current situation are:- there will be intensified the co-operation between the two local public administrations, during the project implementation, when the two institutions’ personnel will meet monthly and will be in contact all the period.- the people from Pecica and Morahalom will be involved in cultural events aiming to present, preserve and promote local traditions, and will have the opportunity to know both about their own traditions and about the traditions of the partners’- the artists from the two partner cities will be involved in joint events, establishing a network aiming to support the presentation of their works to the public- the co-operation between the partners and the communities will continue after the project implementation The added value of the project is the development of cultural activities, in order to remember and preserve local traditions in the cross-border area.The estimated number of participa (English)
