Heritage of Living Old Crafts in Herzegovina
On the occasion of the end of the competition, which was announced by the Tourist Board of Herzegovina-Neretva Canton and the Museum of Herzegovina Mostar on the topic of ‘Old Crafts’, certificates of appreciation were awarded today to all students from primary and secondary schools in Mostar who participated in this competition, and also prizes were awarded for the best literary and artistic works. The awards were presented by the Director of the Museum of Herzegovina Mostar, Asim Krhan, and the Assistant Director of the Tourist Board of HNC, Emir Tipura. Approximately 60 children actively participated in the competition. This competition made a great contribution to raising awareness in our community about the importance of cultural heritage and old crafts in our country, especially among young people who will inherit everything from previous generations.
This competition was organized as part of the activities of the COMMHERITOUR project – “Community-based models for the sustainable valorisation of cultural heritage crafts to enhance economic and tourism performance of remote areas of the Danube Region”, supported by the Interreg Danube Region program co-financed by the European Union, and on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the existence and work of the Museum of Herzegovina Mostar and the International Museum Day.
This activity showed that young people in Mostar are interested in their cultural heritage, as a large number of works – both artistic and literary – were submitted to the competition. After the awarding of certificates of appreciation and prizes, the children socialized with their teachers and representatives of the Museum and the Tourist Board over snacks and drinks.
This project is supported by the Interreg Danube Region Programme co-funded by the European Union.
