Project

Creating a network around the distinctive cultural, tangible and intangible heritage of Europe’s rural areas located in border areas. This network involves documentation, processing and dissemination of legends and stories, customs, traditional architecture, cuisine and other items of the cultural and heritage diversity that defines these territories through direct cooperation with the inhabitants of municipalities in rural border areas, in order not only to preserve, but also to spread the heritage of these rural areas which, due to demographic and social factors such as depopulation and aging of the population, may even disappear, leading to the loss of all this cultural heritage.
