Description
The In-Herit project is planning to endow and develop a National Information and Promotion Centre for Cultural Heritage, by cooperating with 4 partners from Romania and Norway, pooling together the existing expertise on audience development for cultural heritage. This is a unique initiative, and currently there is no structure in place capable of informing and educating a nation-wide public, about the protection, promotion and enhancement of cultural heritage. The centre will pursue its activities in a historical monument building, the Merchant House in Șerban Vodă Street no. 33, a symbolic building of the Bucharest cultural heritage, that will become a space opened for the public. The main objective is to improve the access for the general public to information and education services from the field of culture, by creating a national centre for the information and promotion of the cultural heritage, within the National Institute of Heritage. The specific objectives are: - The development of a permanent structure in the National Institute of Heritage to offer information and education service for the general public in Romania about cultural heritage; - The promotion of novel ways to enhance the cultural heritage through contemporary artistic expression. The project will contribute to the improvement of access to culture (an outcome), by creating 4 jobs, by developing competence for 6 culture professionals, by counting a 1000 participants in cultural activities, and by developing 4 novel scenarios in the education for heritage field, and four contemporary art activities, by launching online tools for general audience access to relevant information on heritage. Also, the project will contribute to the consolidation of collaboration between institutions from Romania and the donor States, through the signed partnership agreement.
Summary of project results
Following the implementation of the project, more than 12 jobs were created and 5 employees improved their skills in the field of cultural heritage. In addition, 16 contemporary art activities were supported with the participation of over 1065 people. The SalvaMonument application created during the project and the establishment of the In-Herit Information Center generated cooperation relationships between the National Heritage Institute and various public institutions and specialized NGOs.
Summary of bilateral results
Within the project, the transfer of expertise, the identification and dissemination of good practices between the Romanian and the Norwegian partner, focused on the development of expertise related to heritage analysis and management represented an important component. As a result, the employees of both parties developed their skills in the field of cultural heritage.
