7ARTE PROPOSES THE REVITALIZATION OF THE CULTURAL CENTER IN “TUNELI I PARË”
Representatives of “7Arte” participated in the meeting on this topic “The identification of the CIF.2 Capital Investment Projects Fund project, for the municipality of Mitrovica”.
The purpose of this meeting was the identification and selection of a project with which the Municipality of Mitrovica would compete at the level of Kosovo Municipalities, where the winning projects will be selected by UN-Habitat in cooperation with Ministry of Environment Special Planning and Infrastructure, therefore the participation of NGO-s in this decision-making process was more than necessary.
The director for public services and infrastructure, Mr. Granit Tmava, after receiving the requests of the residents of Tuneli i Parë, proposed the project “Revitalization of public spaces in the First Tunnel” to apply and expressed the willingness to discuss this project together with the participants of the meeting. He also welcomed thoughts and suggestions that were related to the project.
Among others, the NGO “7 Arte” supported the project “Revitalization of public spaces in “Tuneli i Parë” considering that many aspects of this project are related to the goals and programs of the organization “7Arte”, including the development and creation of (greenery) public and cultural spaces that would serve to the economic development and well-being of the local community.
It is worth remembering that 7Arte has initiated a project idea that would also serve this initiative, which has to do with the revitalization of an abandoned building which for decades remains unused, while it has the potential to serve as a cultural center/cinema with other annexes that would provide self-sustainability. To achieve this, 7Arte expects cooperation with institutions at the local and central level, and relevant organization, as well, so that the project “Revitalization of public spaces in the Tuneli i Parë” should include this proposal, arguing that this public space would play a key role towards sustainable development, social integration, and cultural development of the community.
