Each community has a story to tell, a heritage to preserve and traditions to maintain. Consequently, the Timisoara showcase will develop a mechanism of citizen involvement in building, preserving and communicating the cultural heritage.
The Banat region, delineated by historical and unique geographical characteristics, extends over three countries (Romania, Serbia and Hungary). It comprises a mosaic of cultural entities, among them Romanians, Hungarians Serbs, Roma, Germans, Slovaks, Czechs, Croats, Bulgarians, Jews, etc., scattered in numerous communities across villages, towns and large cities.
On a later stage, it will be proposed innovative solutions to communicate this cultural heritage taking into consideration the particular socio-cultural and political environments of the area.

In a nutshell, what is the concept of your showcase?
The Banat region, extending over parts of Romania, Serbia and Hungary, is home to a multitude of past and present ethnical and cultural groups – their material culture being buried in the ground, standing vestiges or objects of traditional daily use in today’s rural communities.
