PRESENTATION
Cultural Capital Counts is a project co-funded by the Central Europe Programme 2007-2013, that brings together 10 European regions from 6 nations. Our common goal: to enable a positive development of the regions by focussing on our immaterial resources like living traditions, knowledge and talents. For three years (2011 – 2014) the regions will work together to utilize their cultural heritage for a positive future development. We are convinced that the knowledge of the people, their experience and their social interactions are the most valuable resource for our regions' development.
OBJECTIVES
Why focussing on “intangible cultural heritage”?
We live in a part of the world where people have so much material wealth as never before. Nevertheless, they are so unsatisfied as never before. With the project “Cultural Capital Counts” attention will be paid not to material wealth but to the people and their culture – which is often neglected nowadays, to make them aware of what they can be proud of – of their origins and their special traditions, skills and knowledge that make their regions unique. We are convinced that focussing on the individual uniqueness of our regions will make them more attractive to their citizens, visitors and entrepreneurs!
