During the one-week programme in Split, participants test innovative and art-based approaches for cultural heritage transdisciplinary research that can be used for school teaching or informal learning and socially inclusive cultural heritage management and preservation.

ABOUT THE STECCI PROJECT
The project creates sustainable protection strategies for cultural heritage from the climate change impact and consequential natural hazards, environmental pollution, and anthropogenic threats. By means of an interdisciplinary approach, the future of medieval tombstones and similar stone monuments across Europe will be assessed in the context of a changing climate and under two climate scenarios in three periods. Moreover, STECCI co-creates together with its stakeholder’s community-led strategies for placemaking and a sensitive valorisation focusing on cultural tourism and new cultural routes.
