Description

Description (EN):

The Saldus, Mažeikiai and Telsiai districts share many similarities in terms of size and number of inhabitants. However, similarities do not stop just there. They also have a long history of cooperation, much of which has been in the area of cultural. The project has helped to spur new ideas and events, such as a youth dance night festival, the publishing of a joint poetry collection and the organization of exhibitions. Workshops, seminars and new education/training programmes in arts and purchase of new materials/equipment are giving students a chance to enhance their creative skills. The project has helped not only by developing cross-border cooperation but also by creating a marketing plan for those working in the area of culture. It is planned to ensure continued cultural coordination and cooperation among the three project partners, and create a platform for the joint marketing of culture products/events.
