Cultural Heritage in Everyday Life

in the Border Areas

Romania-Republic of Serbia IPA Cross-border Cooperation Programme

Our project will promote contacts and cooperation between people in South Banat
region in Serbia and Timi region in Romania. In this educational and cultural exchange various
groups of people will get in contact and will work together in the activities of the project.
First, teachers of history and Romanian and Serbian languages from two schools will get in
contact and will collaborate in mentoring students, organizing actions and participating
in them, and preparing
the reports and
publications in the
program. At the same
time they will exchange
their experience and
methods in teaching.
Young people, students
from Serbia and
Romania will together
visit villages and
collaborate in all other
project activities. In
that way young people
from two regions will
get in close contact
by working together
on the activities.
Moreover, elder people
from the villages will
be involved in the
activities. Namely, the young people and their teachers will talk with elder people in
villages. The more balanced and sustainable socioeconomic development of the RomanianSerbian border area in this project will be achieved by involving the people on the both
sides of the border in joint activities that will be similar in both regions, South Banat
and Timi. The activities will be performed in order to protect language and customs of
the minorities, Serbs in Timi region in Romania and Romanians in South Banat region in
Serbia, as a cultural heritage.

The led partner is Grammar
School Borislav Petrov Braca from
South Banat region in Serbia. Our main
implementing partners are two high
schools from Rumania: College Constantin
Diaconovic Loga and Grammar School
Dositej Obradovic from Timisoara. The
first one have educational process in
Romanian and the second one on Serbian
language.

CULTURAL HERITAGE IN EVERYDAY LIFE IN THE BORDER AREAS

The final results of the project will be several publications: bulletins, anthology
of interesting stories, bilingual lexicon, and short films. These documents will have
long lasting impact for the preservation and promotion of the cultural heritage in the
border regions. The participation in the organized workshops leads to an insight of the
trends in the language and culture and also enables better knowledge about the history.
Students will gain better knowledge, while the teachers will be involved in professional
development leading to higher quality of their work. Consequently, the implementation
of the knowledge and the skills gained during the workshops, and other activities will
have effects for a long run. There will be also influence on the families of the high school
students, and the audience of the performances. The similar actions of joint cultural
activities can be undertaken in the future, covering number of participants on the both
sides of the border, since the former similar activities were financially supported by state
institutions on different levels. At the institution level, there is already collaboration of the
secondary schools from the three border regions: South Banat, Timis and Caras Severin.
The same institutional collaboration is realised with the West University from Timisoara.
The former activities, financial support and institution collaboration are a good guarantee
that cooperation in the filed of education of the border regions will not be limited by the
duration of the project.
