Every good journey comes to an end! The best thing is that the upcoming 3rd International DANUrB+ Conference and Closing Event in Budapest, Hungary is just the “grand finale” of the current project period as the initiative will continue its excessive motivation for further development of the Danube Cultural Promenade in the following years.
DANUrB+ is part of the New European Bauhaus (NEB) between 9 and 12 June, organized by the European Commission.
DANUrB+ Bulgarian partners – National Tourism Cluster “Bulgarian Guide” and New Bulgarian University, Department of Architecture with the tremendous support of the Associated Partner – Municipality of Vidin, organized the workshop "Local Values and Development of Cultural Tourism in the Region of Vidin, Bulgaria". Held on 31st March 2022, the event focused on the assets of the region, its local values and potential for development.
On 10th and 11th March 2022, DANUrB+ partners are organizing a Regional conference dedicated to the challenges in shrinking cities along the Danube. The event focuses on the opportunities for development of Bulgarian and Romanian settlements in the Danube regions, highlighting the importance of the "smart" networks, utilization of cultural and historical heritage and the power of the local communities.
In Bulgaria, St. Trifon's Day was celebrated on February 14, but after the adoption of the Gregorian calendar, it moved to February 1 (February 14 remains "Vineyard Day"). Trifon Zarezan is the day of wine, wine growers, pubs, and gardeners, which should be celebrated with lively feasts, smiles, and fun.
Pilot site visits in 3 stages were conducted by the Bulgarian Partners in the Living Danube Limes (LDL) project (preliminary stage in April 2021; stages 1 and 2 in October 2021): the Pilot Site Coordinator - National Tourism Cluster “Bulgarian Guide”, the Association of the Danube River Municipalities, and the Centre for Heritage Interpretation. Together with the associated partner Regional Historical Museum of Vidin (RHMV) they discussed the present and future opportunities for further development of Bononia/Vidin, Sinagovtsi, and Ratiaria/Archar. During all stages of the event, the Living Danube Limes project objectives, endeavours, and expected results were introduced, as well as exchanging opinions on how to make the rich antique heritage of the Vidin area better known, and how to inspire heritage management institutes for innovative approaches, and local communities for active participation in heritage related initiatives.
