Those involved in the Revintage project wanted to draw attention to the appreciation of recent interiors because they saw an explicit need for attention to them. This was confirmed by the VET sector who saw many opportunities for introducing elective components on the appreciation of recent cultural heritage into their curriculum. The project wanted to draw attention to the topic at least in the three countries involved and, through the website and the existing and new network, to other countries in the EU as well. Finally, the goal was that the VET programs we involved in the creation, through the outcomes of Revintage, would actually start implementing education in this area.
Revintage aimed to understand and communicate the dynamic of post-war European interiors by looking into local case studies, uncovering a network of stakeholders, and identifying practices of care and destruction that impact a part of our daily life that is key to local culture, but that is not yet formally recognized as cultural heritage. The project focused on setting up an EQF framework for preserving post-war interiors for VET courses in the fields of design, construction, and restoration. During the implementation of the project, the need for a coherent curriculum on this topic turned out to be even greater than previously thought.
