About this project

<p>The main theme of the project is wood and its local links to history and culture. The Spis region is&nbsp;very rich in wood. The tradition of wood processing in the region is very important. The project can&nbsp;show beautiful old, but also new furniture, and wooden musical instruments, promote arts and traditional crafts connected with wood, music, Roma, and Jewish inhabitants of the Spis region. The Project will share stories with locals and tourists also by using new interactive solutions (augmented reality). All the activities are aimed to attract visitors more as well as to show them the rich local heritage (culture, arts, crafts).</p>

Bilateral cooperation results

The main result of the cooperation was the introduction of new technologies, which opened opportunities for innovation in the field of presentation. The strengthening of bilateral relations between donor partner and beneficiary is already based on mutual knowledge, cooperation, communication and exchange of experience. The visits of colleagues from Norway to Markušovce (SR) in June 2023 and the visit of the technologically unique expositions of the staff of the Spiš Museum in Iceland in April 2024 contributed to this. The cooperation with the donor partner was beneficial for both the promoter and the partner, who learned a lot about our history during the project. Further cooperation with Gagarin ehf. will not be possible in the future as it has ceased to exist as a legal entity. However, the personal relationships that were established during the project will form a good basis for the creation of new projects.
