Programme: Recovery and Resilience Plan

The Municipality of Dryanovo’s project is aimed at preserving, promoting, and developing cultural heritage, strengthening cultural identity, and encouraging creative activity within the municipality. The issues addressed include the insufficient visibility of cultural and historical resources, the limited access of the population to diverse cultural events, and the need to support local artists and cultural operators.
The target groups cover a wide range – the residents of Dryanovo and the region, visitors and tourists, children and young people, vulnerable groups, as well as professional and amateur artists in the fields of performing, visual, musical, and literary arts.
The main objectives are:
To preserve and promote the legacy of prominent figures such as Master Kolyu Ficheto;
To encourage the participation of the local community in cultural life;
To stimulate the creative industries through contemporary and traditional forms of art;
To develop the municipality’s tourism and cultural potential.
The expected results include increased cultural activity in the region, broader access to culture, a strengthened sense of identity and pride within the local community, increased interest from tourists and visitors, as well as support for artists and cultural operators.
The main activities are organized into eight events: celebrations of the 225th anniversary of Kolyu Ficheto’s birth with a discussion, a theatrical performance, a concert, and a 3D mapping show; the national poetry and song recital competition “Poetry and Song of the Balkan”; the city’s autumn festivities with visual arts; the winter holiday program “Winter Tale”; and a concert for the Day of the National Revival Leaders. These cover various cultural fields – cultural heritage, performing arts, music, screen arts, literature, and visual arts – providing rich and diverse cultural content throughout the year.
