Description
Heritage is that which is transmitted from one generation to another and it comes first through continuity. To ensure the sustainability of the heritage of Estonian Folklore, we want to strengthen the link between the curators of Estonian Folklore, bind Folklore local communities all over Estonia, and help them to stand for local interest. The development of the curators’ network and the inclusion of suitable people in it increase the ability of the curators to make local populations more interested in their heritage.
The project aims to create a network working all over Estonia in which every Folklore curator of a county has an adequate overview of curating activities all over the country. The project aims to make sure that all curators have received the necessary training to manage, promote and enliven the Estonian Folklore of their county.
During the project the following activities will take place:
- personal development evaluations with curators, to find out every person’s skills, opportunities they might have to promote Estonian Folklore and the resources they need to carry out their projects.
- formalized the job descriptions of the curators to carry out our purposes so that in all the counties our people work on the same bases.
- schooling and virtual information sessions once a month, to share our experiences, successes and failures, to advise each other.
- mapping the current situation of Estonian Folklore preservation in every county to find out the strengths, weaknesses, and resources we have and the ones we need in every county. It is the first map of this kind.
