The next partner meeting in line was the Testing Workshop combined with the 5th partner meeting. It was an unusual meeting since originally the Rediscover partnership was supposed to meet in Kotor, Montenegro, but due to the Covid pandemic, the whole meeting was held online.

Nevertheless, this multi-place meeting turned out very successful. The main topic was the implementation of the pilots and the experiences from the process. Partners introduced the case studies, the methods, and tools implemented in their pilots according to the identified thematic routes on the first day and shared their experiences and best practices with each other, and discussed cross-adaptation opportunities on the next day.

The COVID-19 virus situation reshaped many ideas and plans, and the partnership moved onto IT solutions from exhibitions and festivals. Fortunately some of the partners still could organise small-scale events. Regensburg and Murska Sobota joined to the European Days of Jewish Culture 2020 event.

In Osijek they are planning to open an exhibition to display Hermann Weismann’s collection to uncover and present the tragic destiny of one of the most prominent member of pre-WWII Osijek Jewish Community.

But most of the partners are planning to create online exhibitions and virtual guided tours, like Banja Luka and the Lead Partner.

Some partners dreamt big and turned to a whole new direction after letting go of the big events. One of Szeged TOUR's pilots for example is a streetart that commemorates the work of Manó Róth who created the Szeged synagogue's gorgeous stained glasses.

More about the pilots are coming soon...
