In the context of the third project plenary and demo event in Limassol on 29/5/2024, EUreka3D project and ARTEST Erasmus+ project established a collaboration in a coordination meeting, which was focused on knowledge exchange and capacity building about 3D digitization supporting education in Social Sciences and Humanities.
The delegation of the ARTEST project included representatives from five EU members state institutions and five universities from Mongolia:
Among the presentations during the coordination meeting, after the welcome and introduction to the event by Marinos Ioannides (Cyprus University of Technology), an overview of EUreka3D was provided by Antonella Fresa, project coordinator, (Photoconsortium), following by a presentation of the Europeana initiative and the data space for cultural heritage by Jolan Wuytz (Europeana Foundation) and Sofie Taes (Europeana Network Association).

IN SITU Project Summer School: Place-based creative solutions for cultivating caring and sustainable communities
We are pleased to announce the Call for Applications for the IN SITU project Summer School “Place-based creative solutions for cultivating caring and sustainable communities”, to be held in the island of Zlarin, Croatia, on 20-24 September 2024.
IN SITU is a four-year project that combines research and experimental actions to advance the innovation-related practices, capacities, and potential of cultural and creative industries (CCIs) based in non-urban areas of the EU countries.
Students, scholars, cultural and creative practitioners, cultural professionals and activists who work with and within smaller communities in rural and non-urban areas worldwide are invited to participate in the Summer School.
The working language will be English.
The deadline for submissions is 24 June 2024.
Aiming to create two-way relations with the context in which it takes place, the Summer School programme is designed to address issues that IN SITU considers crucial for their sustainability: community building and engagement, tourism and its adjustments to the needs of the local communities and, finally, care as an organizing principle intertwining all the elements necessary for the growth and well-being of the community.
The programme addresses themes of “communities as centres of sustainability” with Avril Joffe and Mark Rainey; “regenerative tourism, culture, and sustainability of non-urban areas” with Patrick Brouder; and “stewardship of place, care and local communities” with Sylvia Amann. The programme is structured to provide insights into these topics through a dialogical format with the international experts in the field, followed by workshops by trainers and local actors. The programme structure offers an incremental and comprehensive approach to acquiring knowledge and skills while applying them to a concrete situation and designing innovative and creative solutions.
And there’s more to come: the IN SITU Conference “Horizons of Sustainability: the power of creative innovation for transformation of rural and non-urban futures” will be held right after the Summer School, on 25-27 September (Šibenik, Croatia), and the Call for Proposals will open very soon.
The Summer School and Conference are organised by Kultura Nova Foundation from Zagreb in cooperation with the Centre for Social Studies of the University of Coimbra and the partners of the IN SITU project.

On 20 May, the INCULTUM project met with schools and local institutions in the closing event of Castelnuovo di Garfagnana.
The research team of the University of Pisa, leader of the Pilot 5 related to the case of San Pellegrino in Alpe – Garfagnana, organised a final event attended by the administrations of the Province of Lucca, the local Municipality group (“Unione dei Comuni”), and the high school students of the ISI Garfagnana institute, accompanied not only by their professors, and by the Director Prof. Mila Berchiolli and vice-Director Prof. Nicoletta Picchi.
During the meeting, the research team composed of Prof. Enrica Lemmi and Prof. Fosca Giannotti, and by the researchers Adele Cogno, Andrea Pedri and Martina Pirrone, presented the experimental projects developed on the San Pellegrino site in recent years, highlighting the objectives and comparing them with the achieved results. Future prospects of the medieval village and the ‘Don Luigi Pellegrini’ ethnographic museum were discussed.
The event was also characterised by the staging of the theatrical performance ‘Un prete, due santi, un confine e 4000 pezzi unici’ (A priest, two saints, a border and 4,000 unique pieces), performed by actress Elisabetta Salvatori: an accurate historical journey centred on the vicissitudes that led to the birth of the local museum and on the characters of the village’s past, who, even today, come alive through the museum exhibition and its objects.
