This week, a first meeting was held in Ribes de Freser with various stakeholders from the area, this time with a strong technical profile, the RESPIRA project. The aim of the session was to gather the territory’s perspective on heritage management and tourism in the Ribes Valley.
The event mainly served as a meeting point for professionals and organizations working at the local level. During the session, the need to strengthen spaces for exchange in order to coordinate future actions was highlighted, and proposals linked to the Valley’s memory were revisited, such as the legacy of the ecomuseum project, with the intention of giving it continuity.
From an analytical standpoint, participants discussed the risks of trivializing heritage narratives and the need to update them to make them more understandable for today’s audiences. Through participatory activities, attendees identified the importance of selecting key elements that help convey the richness of the territory without losing its essence.
The information gathered during this session is currently being processed for integration into the project’s methodology. Looking ahead to autumn, a second session is planned with new participant profiles to complete this diagnosis before the RESPIRA project partners’ meeting, which will take place in Núria.
