Preservation and enhancement of folk cultural heritage in Central Europe

The project ETHNOFOLK, funded by the EU Struc-tural Funds through the Central Europe Programme, integrates central Europe countries (Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Austria and Hungary) and aims to present the Central European folk culture heritage and potential of its actual and future preservation and presentation. The project planned outcome will be an extensive web portal presenting samples of folk architecture, costumes, music, songs, customs, devotion, etc. in visual, audio as well as video form. As another important goal, the Portal will offer numerous results of an ethnographic nature focusing on the essential scientific background of cultural and visual anthropology theory. The project extends from May 1, 2011 to April 30, 2014 when the Portal is to be launched in a multilingual format.
