Abstract

The overarching aim of this research was to conduct a comparative analysis of the Polish and French approaches to the interpretation and management of cultural heritage. It also explores the perceptions of the legacy associated with venues that have transitioned from their original purposes to new forms of activities aimed at heritage preservation. Key aspects of this study encompass the preservation of the memory of these sites, the strategic development of the locales, the values and goals upheld by these transformed facilities, capacity building, and the roles played by private entities in organizing cultural activities and commemorating cultural heritage within the region.

Supporting Agencies
The research has been supported by a grant from the Faculty of International and Political Studies under the Strategic Programme Excellence Initiative at Jagiellonian University.
