Abstract

The project «RESTORY» HORIZON-CL2-2023-HERITAGE-01 is based on the general partners-idea of European Comission. It is designed by the grop of founds and separate researchers for the Recovering Past Stories for the Future: A Synergistic Approach to Textual and Oral Heritage of Small Communities. The aim of the study. The study is devoted to the textual and oral stories to explore the past of small communities (in BSMU study it is about Rosha area), with the goal of restoring the public’s emotional connection to discontinued traditions. In doing so, it pays greater attention to segments of cultural heritage that have long been overshadowed by monuments or sites of larger significance. Texts and interviews encapsulate expressions of collective agency, allowing current- day SSH academics to investigate those natural processes that gave prominence to the effective management of limited supplies of human and material resources. With a focus on schooling, recycling practices, and affective-based communication of group agents, RESTORY intends to investigate the formation of sustainable attitudes and strategies, learn from the lessons of the past, and integrate them into the future configuration of commitments.
