Objectives

The aim of the project was to use non-formal education methods to highlight the importance of preserving cultural and historical monuments among young people, to popularize their viewing by placing a “Geocaching” hideouts or geocaches. The goal was achieved in the process of performing the following tasks: • Project participants researched the cultural and historical monuments of their cities and the ways in which the public is informed about them. This knowledge was necessary in order to assess the need for the preservation of cultural and historical monuments, the effectiveness of the cultural heritage sector, as well as possible improvements in its policy. • In cooperation with the City Museum in Georgia, an insight into the industry was gained and cultural and historical monuments in the Rustavi area were identified, gaining insight into the practice of researching and preserving cultural heritage. • “Geocaching” geocaches were placed at the objects, updating their viewing and making them more popular. • A closing event was set up with the Geocaching hide-and-seek competition for local people, promoting public interest in preserving cultural heritage.
