Needs and challenges
(Needs, main problems or challenges to be addressed)

There are a great number of objects and traditions along the Danube, included in the Unesco List of World Cultural and Natural Heritage.The Danube region is rich in traditions, as each region has its own specific customs, which provoke the interest of tourists. FOLKlore DANube CulturE aims to preserve and promote the cultural heritage along the Danube trough the development of transnational tools in broad partnership which will facilitate the protection and sustainable use of cultural heritage and will contribute to sustainable jobs and growth. One of the most visible characteristics of the area is the disproportionate level of economic development and big disparities. These disparities may be addressed by an increased level of interconnectivity among the actors active in the sector, creating the conditions to better use the potential existing in the less developed regions. In terms of economic strength, the western part of the area is considerably well ahead the others.

Objectives
(main and specific objectives to be achieved)

A qualitative survey will enable an overview of the region. Based on this information, we will analyze and develop a methodology for sustainable development of the region as well as ways to create successful tourism products to achieve sustainable growth.During the spatial research and gathering of information in the Danube Region, a database of events will be created to promote and preserve these traditions. They will be the basis for creating a common tourism product, with the goal of being united under a common brand that has shaped the proposed product. They will be photographed and promoted on an established IT platform
