Over the years, despite of border, the region of Galicia including Lviv and Przemyśl, had developed unique multi cultural, specific character. However its history, relocations, deportations, the Iron Curtain, a totalitarian system effectively eliminated the cultural dialogue in the region. Nevertheless national minorities remained in those two countries – Polish in Ukraine and Ukrainian in Poland. They still cultivate their traditions, create cultural mosaic of the region, support national identities even though their actions are not properly exposed and promoted. The objective of the Project is to promote the culture of national minorities – Polish in Lviv and Ukrainian in Przemyśl, by creating cultural centers for national minorities in both cities. They will concentrate on systematic promotion of culture of the national minority in the region. Until now the long term planning was not possible, mainly due to the lack of funds. Therefore previous activities and their effects were single and short term, had very local impact and involved only small groups. The activities held in the Cultural Centers will result in increasing the cultural activities of national minorities, change the way they are perceived by the majority, make the regions more attractive to tourists due to better recognition as multi cultural area worth visiting because of its historical and cultural heritage. Apart from partners and members of minorities, entire communities of regions and countries (Poland and Ukraine) will be beneficiaries of the Project. Everyone will benefit especially due to development of cultural tourism. Guests and visitors visiting this region will be the main enquirers of the project and also its natural “ambassadors” in their home regions.
