Η Imagine Heritage ΑμΚΕ, με συνεταίρους τις Zagoristas ΑμΚΕ, ΕΛΙΞ ΑμΚΕ και Επέκεινα Χώρα ΑμΚΕ, υλοποιεί την πολιτιστική πρωτοβουλία «Τα Καλντερίμια του Ζαγορίου ως Ζώσα Πολιτιστική Κληρονομιά του Τόπου», υπό την αιγίδα του Υπουργείου Πολιτισμού. 

Ευχαριστούμε ιδιαιτέρως το ArCHIAM Centre του Liverpool University για την συμβολή του στο Εκπαιδευτικό Περιεχόμενο του Προγράμματος.

Η δράση στοχεύει στην αποκάλυψη και αποκατάσταση ενός παραδοσιακού καλντεριμιού στη Βίτσα Ζαγορίου, στην εκπαίδευση νέων εθελοντών στην τέχνη της λιθόστρωση και στην ανάδειξη της άυλης πολιτιστικής κληρονομιάς του τόπου μέσα από διαλέξεις, εργαστήρια, ξεναγήσεις και ερευνητική τεκμηρίωση. 

Η πρωτοβουλία επιχορηγείται διότι συμβάλλει ουσιαστικά στη διατήρηση και διάδοση των γνώσεων και πρακτικών της παραδοσιακής λιθόστρωσης, ενισχύοντας ταυτόχρονα τη συλλογική μνήμη και την κοινωνική συνοχή της περιοχής του Ζαγορίου.

The Cobblestones of Zagori as Living Cultural Heritage

Imagine Heritage NGO, with partners Zagoristas NGO, ELIX NGO and The Land Beyond NGO, is implementing the cultural initiative “The Cobblestones of Zagori as Living Cultural Heritage”, under the auspices of the Hellenic Ministry of Culture.

Spacial Thanks to the University of Liverpool’s ArCHIAM Centre, for their contribution to our Educational Program.

The action aims to uncover and restore a traditional cobblestone in Vitsa, Zagori, to train young volunteers in the art of paving and to highlight the intangible cultural heritage of the place through lectures, workshops, guided tours and research documentation.

The initiative is funded because it contributes substantially to the preservation and dissemination of knowledge and practices of traditional paving, while simultaneously strengthening the collective memory and social cohesion of the Zagori region.

Meet our Speakers

Join us either in Vitsa, Zagori, or online, for an immersive series of workshops exploring the intersection of architecture, folklore, and intangible heritage.
