Description

Preservation of historical and cultural heritage properties and adaptation to tourist needs is a key task for further development of the tourism potential of the Belarusian/Lithuanian border areas.

Goals and objectives: The project is aimed mainly at facilitating active use of the historical and cultural heritage – Trakai Historical National Park (Užutrakis) and M.K. Ogiński Museum/Manor in Zaliessie.

The project will make a considerable impact on the preservation, promotion and adaptation to tourist needs of the cultural and historical parks in Belarus and Lithuania; it will facilitate the exchange of experience in historical park management between Belarusian and Lithuanian specialists, and development of joint transboundary community events.

Interim outcomes: The project will provide for the publication of the “Historical Parks from Užutrakis to Zaliessie” brochure.

60 folding chairs, and oak table and a set of four matching oak chairs have been procured for the Amelia’s Shrine gazebo in Zaliessie Museum/Manor.

The project provides for establishment of volunteer centres that will assist with the work of the Zaliessie and Užutrakis historical/cultural parks.

There are plans to conduct several seminars and conferences for Belarusian and Lithuanian specialists on the use and promotion of cultural and historical heritage properties. An international en-plein-air session will be arranged for artists in Zaliessie.
