ERIAC is partner in a consortium with Asociación Nacional Presencia Gitana (Spain), EPEKA (Slovenia), Associazione Thèm Romano (Italy), funded by the Creative Europe Programme (CREA) of the European Commission. The project duration is 24 months, between January 2023 and December 2024.
The ROMHERIATGE project aspires to establish itineraries of Roma Cultural Heritage in Spain, Italy and Slovenia, and certificate them as routes of The Cultural Routes of the Council of Europe.
The tangible and intangible transnational cultural heritage of Roma people is present in the entire EU, so this project can be considered a small-scale pilot experience that will serve as a first step for the establishment of a growing number of national itineraries. The Roma cultural heritage itineraries will give visibility to the most significant Romani cultural manifestations, and will link neighborhoods, sites, museums and documentation, research, cultural and educational centers, which will promote the knowledge and recognition of the Romani cultural heritage: a culture that is part of the European and universal common heritage.
The consortium is composed by the Project leader (Asociación Nacional Presencia Gitana from Spain) and 3 project partners: ERIAC (European Roma Institute of Arts and Culture), EPEKA (Slovenia) and Associazione Thèm Romano (Italy), as well as associate partners such as Instituto Cervantes (Spain).
The project will also involve a significant number of local, regional, national and European social, cultural, touristic and economic stakeholders that will take part in the itineraries. Through the creation of a network of stakeholders, as well as the establishment of the itineraries and the implementation of several activities and events, the project aims to:
