About the project:

PATTERNS is an ERASMUS+ project between Romanian, Polish, Estonian, and Finnish cultural heritage organizations and foundations Fundacja Dom and Galeria im. Sleńdzińskich from Bialystok in Poland, Comunitatea Armana din Romania - filiala Bucuresti from Bucharest in Romania and Narva Muuseum from Narva Estonia.

During this project, the partners visit each other to learn about the methods of conducting educational activities, share knowledge, and learn about good practices of education and the popularization of art and textile heritage. The project looks at the differences and similarities in fabric and pattern design in the second half of the 20th century, in different parts of Europe, and connects with the wider international European cultural, industrial, and textile heritage of the 20th century as well as with the local history through the partner institutions and organizations.

The project is co-funded by the European Union.
