The objectives pursued were: General Objective: - Preserve and promote local cultural heritage Specific Objectives: 1 Identify existing and unknown cultural actors and activities in the rural area 2 Promote the inclusion of the rural population through access to culture 3Increase visibility and access to the development of traditional crafts in the rural area 4Share experiences with partner organizations at the transnational level 5Disseminate project results at the local, national, and European levels To achieve these objectives, specific activities were implemented to gradually achieve them in order to fulfill the general objective. In this way, the mapping carried out along with visits to local cultural actors allowed for the identification of local actors and crafts, providing greater knowledge of the target group, as well as generating products (maps and video interviews) to further preserve and promote heritage, and improve and facilitate access to it. Workshops aimed to promote the inclusion of the local community, valorize traditional crafts, and facilitate access to heritage. Transnational meetings, DEOR activities and the InfoKit, enabled the exchange of experiences, best practices and dissemination in different levels

The activities implemented during the project were as follows: 1. 3 Transnational Meetings: The first took place in Portugal, the second was conducted online, and the third was held in Slovenia. 2. Mapping of Local Cultural Heritage: In each country, mapping of local cultural actors and traditional crafts was carried out. Visits were accompanied by video interviews, delving into the history of the craft, the history of the cultural actor, the characteristics of the craft, and the actors' perspectives on the future of the activity. This information, along with contact details, was compiled into digital maps. 3. Workshops: At least 12 workshops were conducted in each country, facilitated by cultural actors contacted during the mapping phase. The design of the workshops took into consideration proper territorial representation of the actors, as well as various crafts. 4. Creation of InfoKit: This document aims to enable other organizations, institutions, or groups to implement similar projects. It compiles the methodology used, best practices identified in the project, links to tools and tutorials, as well as various tips and warnings to consider. 5. Creation of a website and management of social media platforms.

The main products generated in the project were: - Creation of digital maps showcasing the local cultural heritage of the areas of Cinfães (Portugal), Târgu Frumos (Romania), and Idrija (Slovenia). - Production of video interviews featuring identified cultural actors. - Infokit document detailing the project. - Establishment of a website containing all project-related information. The primary outcomes of the project were: - Mapping of over 75 cultural actors. - Conducting 54 video interviews. - Hosting 37 workshops. - Engagement of over 420 participants in the workshops. - Achieving over 250,000 views of the video interviews.
