Project description
Preserving cultural heritage in Serbia
The EU-funded ReFocuS 2.0 project will refocus on the value of cultural heritage and natural resources to society, underlining the vital role of communities in preserving and managing their cultural heritage and natural environment. The project will attract public attention to the synergy of education, cultural and natural heritage, and sustainable development. ReFocuS 2.0 will increase citizens’ understanding of researchers’ work, provide effective heritage education, and promote cultural diversity as a fundamental component of sustainable development. It will organise events (Researchers’ Nights in 2018 and 2019) with the active participation of researchers, engaging young people and adults in public places, museums, archaeological sites and science clubs in 12 Serbian cities.
Objective
The aim of Road to Friday of Science (ReFocuS 2.0) project is to refocus and promote the value of cultural heritage and natural resources to society and highlight the important role that communities play in preserving and managing their cultural heritage and natural environment. The potential that cultural heritage offers is enormous, and beneficial to everyone. Following the EU and UNESCO tendencies and guidelines which recognize the importance of cultural and natural heritage as an indicator and facilitator of the social development, we refocus public attention to synergy of education, cultural and natural heritage, and sustainable development. The other aim of the project is to pay more attention to: academics to share their knowledge and work with broader public and this way to provide effective heritage education, young people to keep the national treasures and protect national heritage, and general audience to be aware of cultural diversity as a fundamental component of sustainable development.
The ReFocuS project named “Past means Future” consists of two parts: Night 2018 will be focused on “Past”, while Night 2019 will be focused on “Future”. Cultural heritage and natural resources are based on aspects of our past that we cherish, want to keep and pass on to future generations and outside world.
Researchers will participate in a wide range of activities developed for and aimed at young people and adults. The activities will take place in venues such as old streets and houses, museums, archaeological sites, fortress, science clubs, and libraries in twelve Serbian cities with the aim of showing the relevance of their work to our everyday lives as well as engaging ordinary people with research and bringing research to unusual places. Workshops, lectures, exhibitions, conversations and film screening about the cultural and natural heritage of Serbia will be organized within the local Science Clubs.
