T.R. aims to regenerate three town centres, through the creation of a dynamic & attractive cultural and tourist offer. The partners wish to work together to jointly exploit the cultural potential of their 3 cultural venues: Boulognes crypt, Canterbury Art Museum & Library and the Folkestone History centre. T.R.s partners realised they were facing the same issues and that substantial added value could be brought to their projects by working together & pooling their knowledge. They therefore decided to create new crossborder networks in conservation, restoration, archaeology and education but also between curators, restoration & technical experts, and between museum specialists and community engagement experts. The project will develop the tourist and cultural offer by improving visitor centres and community involvement. Partners will then be better placed to promote the common heritage of the project and its results and activities thanks to a joint methodology and bilingual tools.
