 Download the poster | Until the end of the World War II, a large part of today north-eastern Poland belonged to the province of Germany called East Prussia.

Their collections contained exhibits related to the history and heritage of the East Prussia. Right after World War II, in the second half of the 1940s, new Polish residents have appeared here, as a result of mostly forced migration of Polish and Ukrainian people and displacement of former German and Masurian inhabitants. At the same time new political, social and cultural reality have started to create the new memory of the new inhabitants. This political and social process, along with previous war devastation, caused destruction of most of Heimatmuseen. Only few of them have survived thanks to the efforts of Mazurian autochthons, but their exhibitions have been heavily changed. Exhibits from other museums have been taken to the new Masirian Museum in Olsztyn or destroyed. The surviving exhibits were used to create a new exhibition showing the Polish history of Masuria.

This poster is a short introduction and explain the importance of education of Roma community for the sustainable development of Albania within the framework of the European integration. Poverty and living conditions also affect the Roma children’s opportunities for education. Often living on the outskirts of town with poor road infrastructure and weak links to public transportation, Roma parents do not have the means to pay for their children’s transportation, textbooks and other school material. In the school curricula, Roma children`s are portrayed as vulnerable groups rather than distinguished identities, which leads to further stigmatization and discriminatory attitudes. Quality education consists of not only classroom-based activities but also community exchange, awareness raising and other activities promoting mutual understanding and inter-cultural dialogue. |
| TRACES | |
 Download the poster | TRACES is a three-year project funded in 2016 by the European Commission as part of the Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme. TRACES investigates the challenges and opportunities raised when transmitting complex pasts and the role of difficult heritage in contemporary Europe. Transmitted sensitively, these heritages can contribute to a process of reflexive Europeanisation that is shaped by on-going critical reflection, and dialogue across different positions. In order to achieve these objectives, TRACES has initiated a series of “Creative Co-Productions” in which artists, researchers, heritage agencies, and stakeholders research together on selected cases of contentious heritage to develop new participatory public interfaces. They are supported and complemented through several investigations pertaining to different research fields and disciplines with the aim to identify new directions for cultural institutions and museums. |
| UNCHARTED - Understanding, Capturing and Fostering the Societal Value of Culture | |
 Download the poster |
What is the social value of culture? While culture is increasingly being viewed from an economic perspective, there is much more at stake. Focusing on the valuation practices developed by different actors involved in the cultural sector, the EU-funded UNCHARTED project will identify Europe’s plurality of cultural values attached to specific cultural products, productions, services, activities and sites. It will consider the multiplicity of agents and the diversity of evaluation practices. Led by the University of Barcelona and involving 10 research partners based in France, Hungary, Italy, Norway, Portugal, Spain and the United Kingdom, the project will focus on the valuation practices of the various actors involved in cultural life, from the audience and visitors to the artists to experts and politicians. |
| Urban and rural heritage role in Italian small towns affected by incoming threat and traumatic event - Abbiategrasso in Ticino Park (north Italy) | |
 Download the poster | The MISE/DABC main goal is to preserve this tangible cultural heritage of this area of Italy. This heritage is part of the identity of the local communities and also constitutes a set of effective agricultural and handcraft production techniques both in terms of production of food with beneficial properties and natural resources management. It also constitutes a tradition to be handed down from one generation to the other, also in terms of transmission of working skills. The preservation of these cultural identities has positive implications in different settings such as sustainable development, protection of biodiversity and environment, health, quality of life and welfare. |

 Download the poster | This community is a network of small towns in Central Italy (in the area of Norcia and its surrounding Apeninnes) hit by the 2016-2017 earthquakes. The goal is to help restoring and maintaining the rich cultural identity and values connected to tangible and intangible culture, namely the varied local handcraft activities and rural manufacturing processes that connote this area. The agricultural biodiversity (with the production of typical vegetables, legumes, cheese, cold cuts, etc.) of the territory is due to the particular geomorphology and to the attachment of the local communities to their traditions, habits, way of life and traditional economies. | ||
| Urban heritage characterization of small and medium-sized historic cities in Andalusia (Spain) | |
 Download the poster | The main objective of this study is to make an approach to the museums in small and medium-sized cities in Andalusia, in order to establish an instrumental tool that can serve to efficiently manage and implement the extensive amount of information that characterizes tourism research. Complementary, parameters related to hotel establishments and museum typologies are considered. As catalyzers of the dynamics of tourist-cultural behavior, they feature the environment of small and medium population centers. To sum up, the research intends to systematize new forms of knowledge as active elements for their potential improving the profile of cultural tourism, as well as optimizing the possible efficiency of tourism focused in heritage, integrated in the system of small and medium cities in Andalusia. |

 Download the poster | Ten co-creation events across Europe in 2019 engaged citizens of different ages and backgrounds, to realize pop-up exhibitions including both local cultural heritage and crowdsourced heritage. A final event and carousel exhibition at the House of European History in Brussels in February 2020 marked the happy conclusion of a very brilliant project. The project was coordinated by KU Leuven with participation of Noterik and Photoconsortium association. Discover the project and its stories: https://www.photoconsortium.net/europeforculture/ | ||
| We and they. The conflict about heritage in small towns in Podlachia (Poland ) | |
 Download the poster | The poster will present several questions about the cultural heritage of small towns in north-eastern Poland, such as Supraśl or Tykocin. Until the Second World War, these towns had cultural, religious and linguistic diversity, with residents of Polish, Russian, Belarussian, German, Jewish and Tatar origin. After the war, some of them were gone, but their heritage was preserved. The depositaries of it are modern inhabitants of these cities, first of all Roman Catholic and Orthodox. What is their attitude to the abandoned heritage of other nations and religions? Are there any problems with cultural legacy of the groups that continue to live in these cities? Are there inflammatory points that have a genesis in the past, which lack of solutions translates into modern conflicts? |
