The main objective of the project is to develop cooperation to strengthen the potential of the Baltic Sea region through the use of the resources of historical institutions, cultural institutions and the protection of national heritage, both local, state and private assets, as well as local and regional entities of formal and informal groups of enthusiasts and NGOs. The project aims to make the resources (natural, historical, cultural) of the Baltic Sea region's heritage more attractive.

The project is also concerned with strengthening the cohesion of the macro-region with the use of cultural heritage aimed at the sustainable development of the regions through the implementation of instruments affecting the respect of tangible and intangible cultural assets and facilitating access to their cognition with the help of remote tools.

The project is a response to the need to learn about the world in a more accessible way in unpredictable times, when historical objects are available today and access to them may not be possible tomorrow. In the project, we want to use creative industries based on large-format scanners to digitize objects that will enable the long-term preservation of the heritage of collaborating regions and the creation of living history lessons. We envision extensive cooperation with creative industries, such as information technology, graphic design and advertising. Only the combination of traditional and creative industries can bring the expected results, such as:

The project is a partnership action addressing the problems of situations related to the existence of barriers (obstacles) that hinder the achievement of the intended objectives in increasing the number of visitors to the area of Warmia and Mazury and deeper Pomerania and partner regions. In terms of recognition, Pomerania is mainly known as the Tri-City metropolitan area with the region's capital of Gdansk standing out, followed by Sopot and Gdynia and the Hel and Vistula Spit, to the exclusion of other geopolitical micro-areas (Kashubian Lake District, Powiśle, Kociewie, part of the Tuchola Forest). In contrast, the Warmia-Mazury region is little known to a large proportion of foreign tourists. The region's potential is not fully exploited and made available to a wide audience, and hence the need to disseminate the national asset in a more accessible way.

We face the same situation when we talk about recognizing the national heritage of our neighbors, such as those from Lithuania, Sweden, Denmark and Germany. With this project, we want to popularize national goods, bring about the creation of a platform of contacts and tighten the bonds of cooperation. So that what was previously unattainable, because little known, becomes recognizable and close to the visitors of the regions cooperating in the project.

SB SeaMan

The overall goal of the project is to develop strong partnerships of SB institutions and organizations that will work together to develop and test methods to introduce innovative and socially inclusive solutions for water and sailing specialization in area of education, awareness-raising, which enable to create conditions for development of sustainable water tourism services.

The main objective is to strengthen the water economy potential of the participating areas through better use and management of surface and seawater resources, around which we want to develop social activities, range of activities such as: education, environmental safety and tourism, and economic offer giving them a high potential for innovation.

An important factor in the development of the water specialization is the basic education and activation of the water economy environment, including variety of actors (politicians, education bodies, scientific and research institutions, entrepreneurs and tourism organization’s inhabitants). This will allow to create of a multispectral and multi-faceted offer that meets the needs of si\sustainable tourism and environmental protection, in which the participating sub-activities want to achieve international relevance.

The aim is to map, analyze available resources, methods techniques, existing strategies and best practices in the field of building water-related specialization of Baltic Sea actors in order to strengthen and create a strong movement for the restoration and development of maritime traditions of South Baltic cities and regions. The role of the seed money project will be able to initiate joint local cooperation with a pro-active function - uniting different stakeholders, tools and communities in order to increase the functionality and involvement in improving the tourism and education offer of organizations in the South Baltic area.
