CASTLE project is a collaborative effort between Serbian and Hungarian organisations aimed at promoting and preserving the cultural and historical values of castles and fortresses in the Banat region of Vojvodina, Serbia and the Csongrád-Csanád and Bács-Kiskun counties of Hungary.
The project will use different mediums to make the cultural heritage accessible and engaging to a wide audience. An educational toolkit will be developed and introduced in schools across both regions. Teachers will receive specialised training to use these resources effectively in their classrooms. To further engage young people, a week-long training session will be organised on both sides where they can acquire skills in local history research, writing, photography, and videography. Lastly, the project includes a digital aspect - a website and a mobile application providing practical information, advice, and visual content for tourists interested in visiting these sites.
