Summary of the results
The study trip focusing on selected technical and industrial cultural monuments in Norway was organized by the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic and The Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage on 28-30 November 2018. The aim of the study trip was to support bilateral cooperation between Norway and the Czech Republic in the area of the technical/industrial cultural heritage and to facilitate networking and establishment of cooperation between potential applicants in the upcoming open calls under the Programme „Culture“ and potential partners from the donor states. Following the immense interest, 27 representatives of Czech expert and cultural operators selected in the open call participated in the seminar. On the Norwegian side, 17 representatives of related cultural operators from Norway and representatives of the Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage took part in the seminar. The study trip introduced good examples of use of industrial/technical objects in Norway that no longer serve their original purpose. Generally, economically sustainable use of objects for local and regional development allowing cultural and social opportunities for local inhabitants is fostered in the restoration projects. The pattern of such use varies based on the character of the objects and the needs of the region. The study trip showed several examples of cultural entrepreneurship relevant for the Programme and upcoming open calls in the area of cultural heritage.
