REMEMBER
REMEMBER- Restoring the memory of the Adriatic Port Sites. Maritime Culture to foster balanced territorial growth
The REMEMBER project seeks to achieve cross-border co-operation in
facing the challenges that endanger the integrity and the existence of the
Adriatic Sea's cultural heritage: mass tourism flows at the peak of the season,
worsening links between ports and cities, environmental pollution due to port
activities, loss of common traditions and cultures that are not enough
valorised at the local development strategy level.
REMEMBER project aims also to
increase the attractiveness of local economies through the use of ICT for the
digitalization of cultural contents, differentiate the touristic offer to
reduce the tourism seasonality, and create new and qualified jobs linking digital
and cultural competences.
The general objective of the
project is to promote sustainable tourism and blue growth in the program area
through the valorisation of the important maritime cultural heritage of 8
Adriatic Italian and Croatian ports - Ancona, Venice, Trieste, Ravenna, Rijeka,
Zadar, Dubrovnik and Split.
The main project results are:
development of 8 virtual museums for the digital representation of tangible and
intangible heritage in each port; improvement of availability of cultural
contents for several types of visitors (low season, handicapped, elderly
people, ...), restoration of historical buildings and rooms for their
valorisation for tourist purposes in Venice, Ravenna, Trieste and Zadar and the
establishment of a cultural tourist route in Ancona and Dubrovnik.
The specific project objectives are
improving the link between ports and local communities and preserving and
adequately valorising the common maritime heritage. The REMEMBER project will
contribute to reducing seasonality in tourism, as it aims to stimulate changes
in cultural and tourism policy and offers revitalization of available cultural
goods. The project will seek to support the cultural offer in a more accessible
and interactive way by increasing the attractiveness of areas that are an
alternative to highly exploited coastal and maritime resources by mass tourism.
Through the project, cross-border
digitization of cultural contents of the preservation of tangible and
intangible cultural heritage, restoration of tourism buildings/rooms will be
realized and the cross-border promotion of Adriatic cultural maritime heritage
through the "cultural network of Adriatic ports" will be realized.
REMEMBER project is funded under the 2014 - 2020 Interreg V-A Italy - Croatia CBC Programme, co-financed by the Office for Cooperation with NGOs of the Government of the Republic of Croatia.
