Tourist Union Strumica has the pleasure to invite you to participate in the first stage of the Academy for Young promoters of the cultural heritage - four-day training and summer camp "Share the cultural heritage of your region”. The event is carried out in the frame of the project “Young people - the new promoters of the cultural identity of the cross-border region" which is implemented with the financial support of the European Union, through the Interreg IPA Cross-border Cooperation Programme between Bulgaria and the Republic of North Macedonia.

The training will be attended by pre-selected participants of the Video Competition "Share the cultural heritage of your region", which took place in the period February - May 2020. The competition aimed to gather ideas and proposals for the popularization of the unique and diverse cultural heritage of the common cross-border region of Bulgaria and Northern Macedonia.

The main goal of the training is to help the participants to develop their ideas and projects for the promotion of the cultural heritage of the region, with both theoretical and practical skills in the field of video content creation, production (post-processing techniques), directing, digital marketing and social networks. There will be a lot of positive emotions, new friendships and acquaintances among young people with relevant interests and ideas. The most active and motivated participants will receive certificates of attendance and other motivational awards. At the end of the training, we will choose the best ten participants, who will qualify for the second level of the Academy - three-day training and youth exchange "The young promoters of the cultural heritage of the region", which will take place at the end of the summer in North Macedonia.

Given the dynamic situation in the country and the uncertainty caused by the spreading of the novel Coronavirus, the training will be conducted in compliance with all preventive measures, following the recommendations of the authorized health authorities. In this connection, personal precautions (masks and/or face shields), disinfectants, disposable gloves, etc. will be provided to all participants. Representatives of the organizers will monitor the keeping of the necessary distance, the regular disinfection, etc.
