Expected results

The results of the statistics data collected and the thematic analysis of the educational activities will be of benefit to the scientific community for professionals in the fields of cultural studies, pedagogy, museology, bibliography, cultural heritage, and other scientific fields, as free access to this information will be made available on the project’s website. This may also be a basis for the development of further scientific research that will directly support the development of formal and non-formal education in museum and library environments. The parallel exploration of museums and libraries by region will also support interinstitutional cooperation in this regard.

The expected results of the project are aimed at building an information database with up-to-date information on the implemented educational programs of cultural organizations by territorial and thematic scope. An interactive map will be created, published on the official website of the project, which will allow a wide range of users to quickly, easily and conveniently, through the global network, navigate where and in what educational initiatives they can participate. This may also directly correspond to the school education system for the selection and enrichment of extracurricular educational activities.

The study of good practices applied by the Bulgarian cultural institutions and their presentation to national and international scientific audience would help to enhance the prestige of Bulgaria as a country with rich cultural heritage, preserved traditions and active cultural and educational activities. On the other hand, the study will also identify some gaps in this regard, which could support the regional development of cultural and educational infrastructure in the country.
