Cultural resources in the mountain areas

Programme 2014 - 2020 Interreg Europe

Date of latest update: 2026-05-30

Description

Description (EN):

The protection of the cultural heritage in the mountain areas is of vital importance for ensuring the cultural diversity of Europe and saving local traditions and customs for the next generations. However, this field is often neglected and local communities have insufficient potential and funds to ensure sustainable use of cultural heritage. Therefore, more support should be provided at the regional level. The aim of CRinMA is to improve the regional policies in order to provide better support for the mountain areas with intangible and tangible cultural resources. Based on the previous profound experience in the implementation of the cross-border programmes, the CRinMA partners have decided to focus on the mountain border areas, assuming that many of the challenges are similar within one geographical area on both sides of the border (or regardless of the borders). All CRinMA regions are eligible within at least one cross-border programme and face challenges typical for the border areas. At the same time, all CRinMA partners can influence the stakeholders from both sides of the borders, which will bring a new dimension to the project. The thematic focus of the project will lie on the heritage related to the mountain folk architecture, traditions, customs, and skills. In some European regions, including Malopolska, Podkarpackie and Presovsky Kraj that kind of heritage is protected by open-air museums. The partners would like to find the solutions on how to make those museums more lively and better integrated with the local communities, which would lead to better promotion and protection not only of tangible, but also of intangible heritage. The exchange of experiences and transfer of good practices between different regions and mountain areas (Carpats, Alps and Gêres-Xurés Cross Border Park) will lead to the elaboration of practical solutions to facilitate valorisation and better protection of the precious cultural heritage in those remote localities.

Achievements (EN): In terms of activities, the project has organised a total of 32 policy learning events. It has also identified 14 good practices, produced 3 action plans and led to the increased capacity of 134 people.

Expected Results (EN):

The overall objective of the CRinMA project is to improve the regional policies related to the protection and promotion of the cultural heritage in the mountain areas. Accomplishing the overall project objective will lead to direct improvement of the existing cross-border and regional operational programmes, but also to a more complex thinking about the role of cultural heritage in the mountain areas, which will result in even better policies and programmes in the future. In addition to the overall objective, three sub-objectives should be met: SO1: Strengthening the local identity based on the cultural heritage in the border mountainous regions. SO2: Improvement in the protection and sustainable use of the cultural heritage in the mountain areas; SO3: Better promotion and creative transformation of the cultural heritage in the mountain areas; The specific objectives of the CRinMA project were set to enable more detailed discussion and organisation of problem-focused workshops and trainings. The sub-objectives reflect the main challenges that are met in the participating regions in relation to the cultural heritage. On the other hand, the three sub-objectives may be considered as the milestones or steps for reaching the main project objective. When we strengthen the local identity based on the cultural heritage, we can better protect and promote it (because it becomes important issue for the local communities). At when the cultural heritage is both well protected and promoted, there is a space for its creative transformation (sustainable use) with the benefit for the local development. Each partner will contribute to the three mentioned sub-objectives; however, due to the specified conditions in each region, some partners may be more involved and plan more activities under one objective than under another. Some action plans may also contribute to one of the sub-objectives; however, each sub-objective will be addressed in at least one action plan.

Expected Outputs (EN):

Three Regional Action Plans addressing three policy instruments will be the most important project outputs. The Lead Partner with PP2 and PP3 will jointly prepare the action plan for the policy instrument 1. The PP4 and PP5 will work together on the action plan addressing the policy instrument 2. The action plan delivered jointly by PP6 and PP7 will relate to policy instrument 3. The improvement of the policy instrument thanks to the implementation of the action plans in phase 2 will lead to the improvement in the regional policies in the field of cultural heritage. Although the policy instruments addressed are prepared for the current financial perspective (up to 2020), the change in the approach and mindsets of the policy makers will lead to programming more challenge-oriented policy instruments in the future. Addressing the cross-border programmes should help in a better understanding of the challenges appearing in the mountain border areas, which will result in even better cooperation of the neighbouring regions in the future. In order to ensure an efficient learning process, 5 study visits and 3 interregional workshop (trainings) will be organised. In addition, the Best Practice Catalogue will be produced thanks to the exchange of experiences among the project partners. The Best Practice Catalogue, which will be published in 7 languages (and thus accessible for the local communities), may inspire the managers of cultural institutions and the policymakers, to transfer the recommended solutions even years after the project implementation. The policymakers and invited stakeholders who will take part in study visits and workshops will gain the great opportunity of individual learning, which will result later on in organisational learning and may lead to a durable change in the approach to the management of the cultural heritage. Two interregional dissemination events (in semester 1 and 8), accompanied by the publishing of the leaflet and brochure, will be organised to ensure proper information to the target groups and stakeholders about the issue addressed by the project and about the project achievements. The result will consist in the raised awareness of the local communities, policymakers and people dealing with the cultural heritage in the mountain border areas. Project outputs produced at the regional level (workshops, regional dissemination events) will lead to increased awareness of the local citizens about the value of the cultural heritage in their environments and its potential for local and regional development. This can lead to the strengthening of the local identity based on the cultural heritage.
