people participate in protection and research activities, implemented
in the vicinity of their villages. The overall objective of the project

citizenry. Involvement of local communities will in its turn promote

the project. The EU is supporting this project with 492,754 Euro.
VivaCell-MTS is the general partner of FPWC. The company highly
appreciates the SOS Culture project for its approach to support the

municipality of Berdavan contributed to the SOS Culture project by
providing the room in the town hall for free.

to meet the stakeholders and all project partners in order to receive
an insight in the SOS Culture Project.
