Short description of the project:
Municipality of Ruse has established partnership with the main cultural institutions in the region in pursuit of their common objective to preserve and improve the conditions of cultural heritage performance through its digitization and provision of more attractive accessibility. Center for digitalization will be set up for this purpose. Through the successful implementation of the project, the Municipality of Ruse will unite the efforts of cultural institutions, with the planned regional approach for building better capacity in the digitization process to contribute to sustainable service needs. Also, creating a stand-alone capacity for digitization of cultural heritage is among the objectives, thus ensuring the efficiency and sustainability of the project activities and results. The project will contribute to this Bulgarian cultural heritage to achieve greater participation in the pan-European context of cultural exchange by providing access to culture and history of the region. Digital representation of the cultural history of minority groups in Ruse and some small settlements in the municipality will be enforced as an activity in achieving these goals. On the other hand, through the established partnership with the National Museum of Liechtenstein, the Municipality of Ruse set as an additional purpose to strengthen bilateral relations between Bulgaria and Liechtenstein. This will ensure exchange of experience in introducing good practices and international standards for better conservation. The envisaged activities will be implemented on the territory of Bulgaria and Liechtenstein, such as roles and concrete activities for each of the partners are detailed and approved with the partnership letter. Each of the partners will actively participate in contribution to the objectives as far as the capacity, experience and competence of each is necessary and they would contribute to ensuring the sustainability of the results.
