Goal: To gather together participants from various groups of ecomuseum stakeholders (private and public sector) and stakeholders from village communities who are interested in the development and delivery of ecomuseum offer.

Summary: At this workshop, our partners from Pivka worked with Andrej Rijavec who explained to the people what creative industries are and how Pivka can use them to create a good tourist product.  Mr. Rijavec also spoke about the importance of Intangible Cultural Heritage. In the second part of the workshop, the organizers developed an idea for a new tourist product that will present Pivka's natural and cultural intangible heritage together with participants. During the project, Pivka will continue to develop this idea of a treasure hunt.
