JUMP - Joint Urban Measures for creative Players
Project co-funded by the Interreg V/A Greece-Italy 2014-2020 Programme
Priority Axis: Integrated Environmental Management
Specific Objective: 2.1 – Enhancement of cultural heritage and natural resources as a territorial resource of the programme area
The project aims at restoring and enhancing a disused urban heritage, such as slaughterhouses, through the creative industry, by developing a management model of a creative pole, already tested on the Italian side, which will be transferred as good practice to the Greek partners with the range of services and artistic contents.
In other words, the objective is to identify unused urban places that will be transformed into cultural centres for artistic performances, i.e., to create a social meeting place for the organisation of exhibitions, musical and theatrical performances and training courses in the world of the arts, particularly aimed at young people.

JUMP
The project was born thanks to the common cross-border need to strengthen the promotion of local and economic development, the exchange of good practices in the enhancement of urban heritage, such as brownfield sites. The main challenges to be addressed by this project are the development of a sustainable strategy and an innovative tool to manage disused urban heritage in order to allow young people to redevelop new public facilities for training, educational and cultural activities. The project aims to strengthen and capitalise on the experience of the “I Make” project of the previous programming period Greece Italy 2007-2013, in order to transfer know-how and good practice to Greece by implementing a cross-border management model of a creative workshop and developing new cross-border tools to promote urban heritage. Sustainable and urban development, protection and enhancement of the cultural and artistic environment are the key words of the JUMP project. The target groups are: young people, artists in different fields of the arts; civil society, research associations, cultural associations; local and international tourism operators and creative SMEs. The overall objective is the development of sustainable strategies and tools such as brownfield rehabilitation and urban regeneration to manage urban heritage with an innovative approach. The rehabilitation of disused urban spaces will take place through the creation and design of artistic and cultural services aimed at young people, the local community and also tourists.
The specific objectives are: – Recovery, reuse and enhancement of urban heritage; – Implementation of a sustainable urban heritage management model; – Development of a cooperation strategy to support youth creativity; – Creation of an experimental environment to encourage youth creativity and their aggregation; – Creation of opportunities to experience creativity in the field of art and music, urban regeneration, active citizenship and cultural dialogue; – Promotion of youth aggregation and artistic production at cross-border level. |
