The \u201cRediscover, expose and exploit the concealed Jewish heritage of the Danube Region\u201d DTP2-084-2.2, with the acronym REDISCOVER was allocated 1\u00a0569\u00a0394,47 EUR within the Danube Transnational Programme. The project is being implemented for 3 years by 18 organizations from 8 countries of the Danube region:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nMunicipality\nof Szeged (as the Lead partner); Szeged\nand Surroundings Tourism Nonprofit Ltd.;\nMunicipality\nof Galati;\nMunicipality\nof Timisoara;\nWorld\nHeritage Management City of Regensburg;\nInstitute\nfor Culture, Tourism and Sport Murska Sobota;\nCity\nof Osijek;\nMunicipal\nMuseum of Subotica;\nKotor\nMunicipality;\nand the City\nof Banja Luka\n(as partners).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nThe\npartnership is based on the participation of cities and towns which\nhave a similar historical background, Jewish cultural heritage and\nsimilar goals for tourism. However, thematic partners who cooperate\nwith the project partners are irreplaceable for the realization of\nthe project, and they are: City\nof Subotica,\nCity Municipality Murska Sobota, Jewish\nCommunity of Szeged,\nJewish\nCommunity Timisoara, part of Federation of Jewish Communities of\nRomania,\nJewish\nCommunity of Osijek,\nJewish\nCommunity of Montenegro,\nJewish\nCommunity of Banja Luka,\nas well as the Romanian\nInstitute for Research on National Minorities. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nThe\nJewish community is quite fragmented\nin\nthe Danube region nowadays. Capitals and larger regional centres have\nsignificant residual\ncommunities\nwhich\nplay an important role in the preservation of the Jewish religious\nand cultural heritage. The main challenge for medium sized cities\nwhich are famous heritage centres on the tourism market is to\ndiscover the elements of tangible and intangible Jewish heritage in\norder to create competitive cultural products with potential tourism\nprospects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nThe\nrediscovery of the Jewish cultural heritage within the project means\nthat besides tangible elements that are well-known to the wide\naudience (synagogues, cemeteries, memorials, public\/\nbusiness\/residential buildings) which can be organised into creative\nattractions, to include and integrate intangible elements usually not\nrecognised by the mainstream community and visitors. Such elements\nare music and literature, religion and festivals, traditions and\nlifestyle, cuisine and local recipes, oral history, photo\ncollections, legacy of famous locally born Jewish personalities,\narts, events. This project would like to contribute to the creation\nof competitive advantages for cities with otherwise scarce Jewish\ncultural heritage attractions. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nThe\nmain objective of the project is to explore, revive and present the\nhidden intellectual heritage along with locally available Jewish\ncultural heritage sites in project partner cities. That will be the\nbase for creation of a jointly presented synergistic tourism\ntool\/service that is accessible to the wide audience as well. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nThe\nREDISCOVER project\u2019s launching conference and kick-off meeting was\nheld by the Lead Partner in Szeged on 5-6th July at IH Event Centre.\nAfter the opening addresses Hungarian lecturers gave inspiring and\nhigh quality presentations to the audience. L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Marjanucz, PhD\nfrom University of Szeged was talking about the concrete historical\nprocesses of the coexistence and joint urban development of various\nJewish groups of Szeged, from Norbert Gl\u00e4sser, PhD, also from the\nUniversity of Szeged, along with Andr\u00e1s Zima, from the Budapest\nUniversity of Jewish Studies, gave a presentation about changing\nJewish community life, inherited cultural products, roles in local\nsocial development. Last, but not least, Krisztina Frauhammer\u2019s\n(University of Szeged) lecture elaborated on the representation of\nintangible heritage in written sources of Judaism of the Danube\nRegion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After\nthe launching conference, the event continued with the kick-off\nmeeting organised only for the project partners. This was the first\ntime when the partners have met and had a chance to get to know each\nother better in person and create a friendly working environment.\nPartners got acquainted with the detailed concept, purpose and\nimplementation rules of the project. The 36 moth-long project ends on\n31\nMay 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
