Industrial Heritage and Tourism – A Rail4V4+V projekt, a Visegrádi Alap stratégiai projektjének online szemináriuma

„Industrial Heritage and Tourism" címmel kerül megrendezésre a Rail4V4+V Projekt, a Visegrádi Alap stratégiai projektjének angol nyelvű, online szemináriuma. A szeminárium a barnaövezetek revitalizációját, az ipari épületek újrahasznosítását, az ipari örökség turisztikai lehetőségeit járja körbe.

A fentieken túl megismerhetjük Budapest egyik legjelentősebb kulturális célú barnaövezeti fejlesztését, az Északi Járműjavító területén megvalósult és megvalósuló fejlesztéseket. A német előadó a Ruhr-vidékről hoz példákat az ipari örökség emlékezetének ápolására, de előadások hangzanak el a szocialista korszak nagy beruházásainak sorsáról és a dualizmus korabeli vasúti épületekről is.

A szeminárium nyelve angol. A részvétel ingyenes, de előregisztrációhoz kötött az Eventbrite felületén. A jóváhagyott regisztrációkat követően kapják meg a résztvevők a Zoom belépéshez szükséges adatokat 2022. április 5-én.
