Abstract

Cultural heritage is of great symbolic importance for the identity of a community. For this reason is often one of the first targets of attack during armed conflicts. The religious Orthodox and Muslim heritage in FYRoM has suffered severely from the armed clash in 2001 in Macedonia. A first mapping of the damages inflicted to 16 religious object, buildings and sites during the conflict, was drafted in 2001 by the Macedonian National Conservation Center (NKC) and a first rehabilitation was funded by the European Agency for Reconstruction, providing a complete reconstruction of one church and some small restorations. A consistent part of this valuable heritage is still at risk of deterioration. The action will contribute to the Global Objective of the call, since it will contribute to the preservation and restoration of valuable religious objects damaged by the war and remained abandoned as result of the political latent conflict. The project will provide the technical assistance to the rehabilitation process as well as will create an enabling social and cultural environment for the future preservation of the heritage. The project will directly contribute to achieve the Specific Objectives of the call since: 1) will foster restoration knowledge and will broaden the local skill base of the Macedonian operators, thanks to the technical assistance provided by the cooperation of Western Balkan and European experts; 2) will help evolution of the local socio-economic conditions both in terms of education possibilities and revenue generating activities among the communities living in the area surrounding the damaged cultural heritage, thanks to the creation of participatory intercultural rehabilitation and revitalisation process. According to the priorities expressed in the call, the “preparatory” character of the proposed activities will be considered in a twofold perspective: the technical conditions for re-activating the rehabilitation process will be created and a new cultural (intercultural) approach toward the religious sites, going beyond the restoration, will place heritage at the heart of the rehabilitation process.
