The Citizens’ Association “NEŠTO VIŠE” from Sarajevo, in partnership with the Association for the Promotion and Popularization of Literature IMPERATIV, is implementing the project titled “Protection of Cultural Heritage in BiH with the Support of Civil Society Networks – PCH Program”, funded by the European Union. The project aims to establish cooperation between institutions and civil society organizations in the field of improving legislation, restoration, promotion, and economic utilization of cultural heritage.
Eligible applicants for this Call include:
- Units of local self-government or relevant departments/services;
- Tourist organizations/associations;
- Public institutions managing cultural and historical heritage;
- Civil society organizations/foundations managing cultural and historical heritage.
Through this project, we plan to support three locations where there is potential to introduce virtual reality as a means of promoting cultural and historical heritage. For each of the three selected locations, the following is planned:
- Procurement of 10 3D virtual reality headsets, and
- Production of a 3D video/animation that presents the cultural and historical site and is displayed to visitors/tourists through the VR headsets.
The maximum investment per location is 45,000 BAM (VAT excluded), with mandatory co-financing of 50% provided by the applicant.
When expressing interest for cooperation, it is necessary that you have:
- A cultural or historical site you wish to present to the broader public (e.g., a museum, cultural or historical monument and/or traditional event, specific location, etc.);
- A space for the equipment and a person responsible for managing the 3D equipment;
- A proposal/script for the video or animation – i.e., the story you wish to present to the public;
- Financial resources for co-financing.
Cooperation will be established with the first three applicants who express interest and meet all of the above conditions. Therefore, we invite you to react promptly and not miss the opportunity to enhance your tourism offer and/or presentation of cultural and historical heritage using modern technologies.
