Voices of Butrint - Phase 2

Thanks to support from the Butrint Foundation in 2014, an oral history project was carried out in four villages surrounding Butrint. The main aim of the project was to extend
the historical knowledge of the site through memories of people living near the site and
provide to the Butrint Foundation an oral and historical archive, which, in the longer
term could be used to provide resources for local schools and visitors to the site.
The narrative and interviews produced from the 2014 project will be simplified during
the second stage following conversations and research with schools in the area, establishing their needs and involvement in the process
Local stories and memories will engage children in the storytelling process making
opportunities for them to explore their own meanings and connections to the stories,
learning how history is created and encouraging a sense of identity connected to their
present world.
Working with local teachers, this second stage will use the material gathered in imaginative ways, to help build stronger relationships between Butrint and the local communities that surround it.

Industrial heritage presentations

During January 2015, the Centre for Albanian Cultural Heritage was engaged in presenting a numerous open lectures on Albanian industrial heritage. The first lecture was
held at the Marin Barleti University with subject Industrial heritage in Albania and

the future of the countrys industrial heritage.

Triangular fortress project
