Programme: Recovery and Resilience Plan

The main objective of the project is the creation and distribution of a new combination of existing cultural products, which includes a combination of new and existing products and their elements. The new combination of existing cultural products includes the conduct of:
1. Fires in the Gorge National Dance Festival
2. Children's author's musical When the sun doesn't come
3. Performance Winter's Tale
The cultural product is created in a format that will offer access to the product and appeal as an audience to socially excluded and disadvantaged groups. Children will take part in the dance ensembles. Some of the children's parents are disadvantaged people. All three events are community-wide and include minority and disadvantaged audiences. The project includes the creation of an author's musical for children, in which the participants will be from the small settlements around the town of Svoge, children with whom the local commission for combating anti-social behavior works, as well as children from the protected school Dr. Petar Beron, in the village of Rib.
The ensured access to culture in small settlements in Svoge Municipality plays an important role for the economic and social development of the area as well as the ability to further contribute to overcoming differences. Low incomes and high unemployment limit the financial opportunities of residents to participate in paid cultural events. Pensioners do not have access to such events and are subject to social and cultural isolation. This leads to social and cultural inequalities in peripheral settlements. The implementation of the project will reduce the social and cultural isolation of the villages.
The general goal of the project is to present the intangible cultural heritage – the traditions, customs and values ​​of our people in a modern, attractive and innovative way for the general public, as well as to introduce the younger generation to these ancient values ​​and their preservation and protection.
