The Voices of Butrint, Phase 3

Thanks to support from the Butrint Foundation in 2014 an oral history project was

carried out in four villages surrounding Butrint. During the second phase in 2015Trakult prepared an educational package for teachers and pupils of local schools using

the interviews and photographs together. Working with local teachers and using both

the narratives and images we have begun to build strong relationships between Butrint

and its local communities.

In 2016 the project will use material gathered in previous seasons to prepare a small

exhibition. The exhibition will visit the villages involved, ending its tour in the

museum at Butrint. This will also allow us to gather evaluation of the learning booklet

from teachers and schoolchildren . The third phase is intended to start in March 2016.

Albanian industrial heritage andEuropean heritage days

The European Heritage Da ys are the most widely celebrated pa rticipatory cultural event

shared by the citizens of Europe. The aims of the European Heritage Days are to:

- raise the awareness of European citizens to the richness and cultural diversity of

Europe;

- create a climate in which the appreciation of the rich mosaic of European cultures is

stimulated;

- counter racism and xenophobia and e ncourage greater tolerance in Europe a nd beyond

the national borders;

- inform the public and the political authorities about the need to protect cultural

heritage against new threats;

- invite Europe to respond to the social, political and eco nomic challenges it faces.

This year Europe has co me together to examine ou r shared past through the uniqu e lens

of our Industrial Heritage, with more than 30 countries joining this common theme.

Within this framework in November 2015, th e Centre for Albanian Cultural Heritage was

invited in a rounded table held by the Albanian Ministry of Culture. It is very important

to emphasise that the debate on industrial heritage now is at national level. Thanks to

the efforts made so far by the Centre for Albanian Cultural Heritage about the subject

this year the Institute of Monuments in Albania has designed as a listed building the

entrance of the te xtile plant Stalin in Tirana. This is a great ac hievement for Albanian

industrial heritage a theme which was almost unknown five years ago.
