Description
Description (EN): The Programme area targeted trough this Project, bordered by Bela Crkva municipality in North – West and the one of Svinița in the South – West has the well-deserved reputation of being one of the most beautiful regions of Romania and Serbia. Known as „Clisura Dunării” or „Банатска Клисура”, these lands amaze by many places and things, made by Nature or, since millenniums, by human hand. If the natural beauties gained certain popularity in the last years, the red thread of uninterrupted human presence – the local, common tradition – is getting more and more scattered, along with the population ageing phenomena and the youth migration to bigger, urban areas, in search for better living conditions. So, if we should use two words to describe the area envisaged through this Project, these would be “beautiful” and “poor”. The touristic sector, even being on a slightly upward trend as a direct result of promotional actions, lacks some essential ingredients needed to become the main economic growth engine of the area. One of those is the poor offer of activities or attractive moments provided to the visitors: even they can visit places, do some hiking or enjoy extraordinary meals prepared mainly from fish, they leave without truly meeting the local tradition and thus – without truly meeting the locals. This is what we’re going to change trough “Keepers of tradition”: by sounds, motion and colors coming from the mists of time we will give a longer and joyful life to their memories from here, thereby we’ll make them to come back, to stay longer and, not least at all, we’ll appoint them as ambassadors of “Clisura Dunării” area.
Having as overall objective the preservation of cultural heritage and the use of it for developing local tourism economy, we expect to have at the end of the Project more than 120 young people trained as tradition keepers, a new folklore dancing ensemble, a Romanian – Serbian Tradition Centre and a network of accommodation facilities that will invite our artists to perform for their visitors. For the first time in the area, the common Romanian – Serbian cross-border tradition and cultural life will be exposed to the tourists by trained amateurs acting as professionals – without any fee – bringing this way an important contribution to the development of the touristic sector.
