We invite Ukrainian specialists – structural engineers, mechanical design engineers, electrical engineers, 3D designers, digital engineering specialists, programmers, and IT professionals – to participate in the Second Cross-Border Professional Workshop in the field of cultural heritage, which will take place on 29–30 August 2023 in Nadvirna.
We believe that creative workshops are among the most engaging and inspiring forms of collaboration for professionals from diverse fields united by strong creative potential. Workshops often empower experts to develop non-standard content and innovative solutions for heritage interpretation, as participants naturally generate bold, sometimes provocative ideas that are essential for effective interpretation. Successful interpretation reveals the significance of heritage within the broader cultural, social, and economic context, making it meaningful and accessible to local communities, the region, and the country as a whole.
The second workshop will bring together the unique expertise of specialists from Ukraine and Romania, enabling the identification of innovative technical solutions for interpretation tools for the future Heritage Centre of Pniv Castle and the finalization of its interpretation concept.
The workshop will be conducted in an interactive format and will include a site visit to Pniv Castle, offering participants engaging discussions, diverse networking opportunities, and memorable experiences.
