DEEP DIVES

Testing Model Cemeteries Programme Concepts

 

 

The deep dives involve developing different types of programmes in each of the selected cemeteries, exploring the full potential of such sites for interpretation, local community engagement, developing heritage skills, and for general educational, cultural, artistic and touristic purposes, including potential inclusion in municipal development strategies, benefiting from what has already been achieved in other major cities, and trialling the application of new types of activity including the use of digital technologies.

Rachel Lichtenstein will oversee and run the ‘deep dives’ programme which will be conducted in one major cemetery of a leading city in each project country. 

Development has begun on a range of activities in the 7 countries. These include a digital audio guide, a photographic exhibition, heritage trails, a poet-in-residence programme, a freely downloadable education packs for schools, a digital mapping project and a documentary film produced by non-Jewish partners resurrecting Jewish memory.

The lead partner for this activity is the Foundation for Jewish Heritage.
