  • II. Innovative aspects

The Cultural Route of the Fortified Churches is along four counties in South Transylvania – Sibiu, Brasov, Mures and Alba. The communication between county management offices is missing and there is no common strategy regarding the regional development.

  • Regional approach;
  • Client oriented activities;
  • Wide range of working fields;
  • Usage of the cultural theme to link the local stakeholders
  • Development of a regional identity.

  • II. Innovative aspects

The project was innitiatied by Mioritics with the support of UNESCO Venice Office under the “Cultural Heritage - a bridge towards a shared future” program in South-East Europe (10 countries/partners participating). Mioritics is the only NGO involved in this program (all the

  • thers are Ministries of Culture) and the project was presented several

times like best practice during the UNESCO Ministerial Conferences or UNESCO Experts Meetings. Even the project was innitiated and managed by an NGO, the activities became self sustainable after one year since the beginning and all the new funds (grants, sponsorships) are used for development of new activities.

  • III. Transferability to other projects

From the methodological point of view the activities are fully transferable to other territorial contexts and adaptable to any route. The application of this practice requires the adoption of appropriate modifications linked primarily to the type of the Route and to any other existing infrastructure.
