ReStory

Project Aim and Objectives
The RESTORY project, funded by the EU, embarks on a transformative journey to unveil hidden narratives and revive cultural roots within small communities. At its heart lies a profound commitment to reconnecting communities with their rich historical tapestries, often obscured by the towering shadows of monumental heritage. Departing from conventional approaches that prioritize well-known landmarks, RESTORY pioneers a methodologically innovative path by synergizing textual and oral narratives. This approach aims not only to unearth the forgotten stories of yesteryear but also to shine a spotlight on the intricate cultural treasures that define the unique identities of smaller, often marginalized communities. The objectives of the project are to: 1) Restore emotional connection 2) Explore collective agency 3) Promote sustainable practice 4) Enhance cross-cultural understanding 5) Create methodologically-hybrid case studies 6) Empower local communities

Partners
ATU is one of the 20 partners involved in the project including universities, public institutions, companies, and NGOS from across 12 European countries.
