Summary of the results

The results of bilateral cooperation are outputs in the form of two feasibility studies and one strategy for the operation of the Reitendorf cultural and educational center. Thanks to these outputs, it was possible in cooperation with donor states partners to determine the direction of the Reitendorf cultural and educational facility, including its educational program and anticipated future expenditures. Especially thanks to the knowledge of the Liechtenstein partner in the management of the cultural center focused on local communities and the exchange of experience, the educational program was created to meet the needs of the local population as much as possible. Despite the different cultural and social situation of the Czech Republic and the donor countries, mutual understanding was found. The biggest challenge during the bilateral initiative was the coronavirus pandemic, which unfortunately greatly affected cooperation, especially with the Norwegian partner, which had to take place online only, despite prolongation of the implementation period.

The obtained results will be further used. The feasibility study of the millrace is a pre-stage to the realization and the implementation study of the cultural and educational center will be used as a basis for submitting an application to one of the grant titles of the Ministry of Regional Development and the Ministry of Culture.
