Action plan for RANN in the Danube Region

Roundtable organized by the Museum of Arts and Crafts Zagreb

Venue: Ministry of Culture and Media of the Republic of Croatia, Runjaninova street 2, Zagreb

On Wednesday, September 28, within the framework of the ARTNOUVEAU2 project at the Ministry of Culture and Media of the Republic of Croatia, a roundtable was held on the topic Action plan for RANN in the Danube Region, which was attended by: M.Sc. Anuška Deranja Crnokić, Tatjana Horvatić and Eva Radolović from the Ministry of Culture and Media, M.Sc. Vlasta Klarić from the Ministry of Tourism and Sport, Ph.D. Nina Gazivoda from the City Institute for Protection of Cultural and Natural Monuments and Ph.D. Vesna Lovrić Plantić and Vedrana Ceranja from MUO, which organized the roundtable as a project partner. Vesna Lovrić Plantić, AN2 project manager for MUO, presented the Art Nouveau and Artnouveau2 projects and the Action plan for RANN which comprises 35 heritage institutions and strives to be more visible and present in the countries of the Danube Region. The suggestion is that at least one city – Zagreb, Osijek or Rijeka that have outstanding Art Nouveau heritage, become RANN member. However, membership fees are too high for countries with lower gross national income, especially for Zagreb that has high costs due to earthquake reconstruction. Therefore, fee diversification should be considered. Moreover, it would be good to establish a RANN office in the Region. The idea is to propose the Danube Art Nouveau Cultural Route to the Council of Europe.

Vlasta Klarić, an expert on the European Strategy of the Adriatic Ionian Region – EUSAIR, held a presentation with an emphasis on the cultural routes of the Council of Europe in which Croatia participates.
