Festivals of the Solstice Fire in the Pyrenees

Closed

On December 1st, 2015, UNESCO included in the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity the "Festivals of the Summer Solstice Fire in the Pyrenees", 63 towns in Andorra (3), Spain (17) and France (34). The initiative arose from the bearers of the fest and materialized itself in a candidacy presented by the Andorran State in conjunction with the Spanish and French States. PROMETHEUS arises from such recognition and seeks to capitalize it through cross-border innovation carried out within universities and research centres. Its main objective is to transfer knowledge to society through educational and informative products, establishing two major actions: 1) the creation of unheard of educational tools at a higher level and in the field of formal education, and 2) the design and development of innovative informative materials in the framework of ICTs. PROMETHEUS will develop a joint, innovative strategy in the field of social sciences, certainly to develop in what will be referred to as the fire festivals of the Pyrenees, to enhance the common heritage of the three states and facilitate the work of companies and associations cultural activities.
