Short description of the project, including its aims:
The most mining region in Slovenia covers three municipalities (Hrastnik, Trbovlje and Zagorje). Their economic boom started 200 years ago, with the development of coal mining industry. After two centuries, the region has faced with the end of the industrial area, which has given a significant mark to the landscape, people, cuisine and lifestyle. Mining has become a side-line of economic development in Zasavje, and also in Europe in general. The towns which arose after the industrial revolution and developed rich mining activity, have been recently forced to seek new paths and new opportunities. Migrations, tourism, labour movement and significant changes of cultural landscape have left permanent mark in those cities regarding to 200 years of mining history. And now, after two centuries, we are at the crossroad again. Towns, marked by the mining impact, face challenges of finding new branches like tourism, development, integration and networking.
