Description

The project primarily aims to restore the cultural heritage sight – the northern wing of the baroque manor house, so that currently unused space could be brought to life and offer activities and services in a genuine historic interior. The northern wing of the manor house will get back its original appearance and the new premises will be made accessible to the public. The claimant, as the contracting authority, will take heed of the contractor of the reconstruction work during the public procurement as well as of the maintenance of transparency and non-discrimination. The main materials of the public procurement will be processed unambiguously and comprehensively. The access to the tenders as well as to the relevant documentation will not be limited and will be published in the profile of the contracting authority. The men and women will participate to the same extent without any tendency to prefer either of the genders. Cultural, art, and social events will offer space for meaningful leisure for the children, the youth, and the adults regardless of gender, age, race, religion, social or national origin, sexual orientation, or disability. Access to the spaces will be also available to the physically disabled thanks to a new staircase featuring a stairlift for the immobile. The promoter will organize educational activities, discussions, interactive lectures about the issues of the holocaust, the position of women in society, the fight against prejudice, radicalization or extremism, and transparency and anti-corruption. Promoter plan to raise awareness about the culture of the minorities, especially the Roma people, e.g. by organizing concerts of the Roma music bands, and public readings of Roma literature for the general public. Partners will bring a new creative approach and insight into scenography, art creation, and direction of artworks will bring new technology of material processing, and will provide interactive seminars about traditional wooden toys.
