Description
The project CULTFORT – Urban cultural fortress comes as a response to the needs identified in the past during public debates and it is based on vulnerabilities reflected in Sighisoara’s strategic development planning: the need for a better cultural management, involvement of the business sector, more multifunctional venues, and more events on the cultural agenda. The groups targeted by the proposed project are 25 professionals and practitioners in the cultural-creative sector, 5 team-members from Mihai Eminescu Trust foundation, 250 children and youngsters from Sighisoara, 750 visitors and people from the local community attending the cultural events. Project CULTFORT aims to sustainably develop the cultural-creative sector and increase communal accessibility to culture through the contemporary cultural revitalisation of Sighisoara’s Medieval citadel. More specific objectives aim to: integrated development of the creative and cultural sectors in Sighisoara by consolidating skills in strategic planning, entrepreneurship, and cultural management for 30 professionals and practitioners in the cultural-creative sector, by 2023; promoting and increasing peoples’ access to culture by enriching Sighisoara’s cultural agenda; 23 events of classical, modern, popular and contemporary art aim to attract over 750 visitors during the tourism seasons in 2022 and 2023; expanding the culture-consuming public to include more individuals from the younger generation by creating an unconventional cultural space and involving 250 youngsters in an informal cultural-artistic educational program, by 2023.
