The interactive lecture "Whisper of the Old Olive - Let's talk about preserving our tradition", on the topic of intangible cultural heritage, will be held by an ethnologist Ljubica Miličić, today at the "Red Commune" memorial home in Petrovac, from 10 a.m.
"Until now, 19 elements have been registered in the National Register of Montenegro and none of them belong to the cultural heritage of Paštrović and Budva. Consequently, the aim of the lecture is the application of the bottom-up model. The purpose of the meeting is to acquaint the local community with the concept of intangible cultural heritage, the UNESCO Convention on the Protection of Intangible Cultural Heritage and the procedure for submitting an initiative for the protection and registration of elements of intangible cultural heritage in the National Register of Montenegro at the Directorate for the Protection of Cultural Property (Ministry of Culture and Media). it is stated in the announcement of the Public Institution Museums and Galleries of Budva.
After registration, selection and legal protection, elements of Paštrović's intangible heritage would become visible in the national census, which would contribute to their cultural, economic and tourist valorization, the organizers add. They point out that in this way, the local community, with its active role in the protection system, would have the opportunity to build its own image and represent identity features.
During the lecture, potential cooperation with the curators of the Museum of the City of Budva and the curators of the "Red Commune" Memorial Hall will be pointed out, with the aim of interpreting the identity and cultural elements of Paštrović as authentically as possible within local cultural institutions.
