The creation of a Strategy for the Promotion of Music Culture and the Development of Music Tourism in the Cross-Border Region is a key element of this project, as it will identify the main priorities for the development of cultural tourism in the cross-border region by researching and analyzing the specific place of the musical culture characteristic of it. The principles observed in the process of developing the Strategy are those of transparency, continuity, feedback, documentation, etc. The Lead Partner will be responsible for the creation of the Strategy and its development will be entrusted to external experts with sufficient experience in drafting such strategic documents.

The main activity of this project is the creation of an advertising film presenting the cultural and historical and natural wealth of the cross-border region through the creative potential of two of the largest cultural institutes in this cross-border region. The “Music Guide” will be a movie of 25 to 30 minutes, filmed in at least 12 locations that are emblematic of the region.

The music festival will be a unique event that has high tourist potential, based on the places where it will be conducted, as well as the high quality of the cultural product. Successfully conducting it requires serious preparation, which, in addition to its extensive promotion and joint rehearsals, involves the purchase of the necessary equipment for the sound of the event. The purchase of audio equipment will contribute to the sustainability of the festival and will be used for its future editions as well as for other joint initiatives of the two cultural institutes. The music festival will last for a total of 4 days, the first two of which…

These are instruments that the two cultural institutes either do not possess or are outdated, depreciated and cannot provide the necessary quality to be achieved. The purchase of…

Carrying out joint performances of musicians from the two orchestras and introducing them to the opportunities offered…
