Treasure of Timișoara is in its third edition and will take place from August 15 to October 30, 2024, in the Iosefin, Elisabetin and Fabric neighborhoods. The aim is to promote Timisoara's cultural heritage. The project is organized by the CDPP Association in partnership with the West University of Timisoara, the County Foundation for Youth Timis, the Association for the Promotion and Development of Tourism in Timis County and the Lindenfeld Association.
Both as locals and as tourists, we often pass by a building, a statue or a square and know nothing about it, the stories behind it and the importance it has played in the city's history. It's time to lift the aura of mystery that shrouds their history and show them to the people as they are, with their history and grandeur. Through the project we want to build a framework in which participants can discover the cultural heritage of the city in a new way. The basic methods we will use in the project are Treasure Hunt and History Box, through which participants will walk a route, receive presentation materials to analyze, receive clues, take urban challenges, and solve puzzles to guide them in their heritage exploration adventure.
In this way we are developing the context in which learning about cultural heritage will be more interactive and the beneficiaries will be put in a position to study the presentation materials they receive and actively relate to them.
This year we are adding a new method to the project, the History Box.
