New Renaissance in Europe
Start date: Sep 1, 2013,
The immense cultural heritage left to Europe by the Renaissance is famous across the world. But do we, as EU citizens, know enough about its European value both in historical terms and as a foundation of our present day union?RenEU intends to make the most of the cultural heritage related to the Renaissance by strengthening the European dimension of the phenomenon and linking the common historical roots of the Old Continent to contemporary Europe by highlighting the values that characterised that period and the features that have become our common traditions.Through the development and integration of a series of itineraries in 5 EU countries – Tuscany Region (IT), Patronato de la Alhambra y Generalife (ES), Villa Decius Association (PL), Setepés (PT), Musée National de la Renaissance - Château d'Ecouen (FR) – RenEU partners, with their associated partners, aim to create a common European Itinerary on Renaissance. Itineraries will be both physical spaces to visit, as well as remotely accessible through web-tool and online contents, which will be integral part of the common EU itinerary. RenEU foresees the mobility of cultural operators and an intense promotion and circulation of cultural and artistic works and involvement of a variety of target groups across Europe (citizens, students, academics, foreign residents, tourists) thanks to the creation of the web-tool with itineraries, as well as to a full programme of diversified dissemination activities implemented in accordance to each itinerary and territory.Activities of RenEU project will allow to:• create cultural itineraries, which bring the local and European nature of the Renaissance to life• enable intercultural dialogue among European citizens by linking the role of Renaissance in building up a common cultural background in Europe• raise awareness on our common European past by promoting a reflection and a debate on the EU dimension of the Renaissance as a phenomenon shaping our contemporary Europe.
