About the project:
The FVMP has launched a Network of Valencia Region Municipalities for the Valorization of Historical Memory. The main objective of this network is to create a regional forum to debate, analyse, exchange experiences and consult about the municipal initiatives to recover the historical memory and their valorization. Other activities of the network are: inventory of heritage elements of historical memory, valorization of heritage elements, protection and recognition of victims, identification of financial support for dissemination and events, and recommendations to the municipalities.
By now, this network is composed of 70 municipalities of Comunitat Valenciana, and also of the Valencia Regional Government, the Valencian Culture Council and the Association for the Recovery of Historical Memory.
The idea of project is to promote a European Network for the valorization of historical memory where the municipalities can raise their initiatives and exchange good practices. For doing this, the Valencian Network will seek the collaboration of municipalities or associations of municipalities in other European regions, through mainly their local authorities, and also their regional authorities and other associations working for the recovery and valorization of historical memory.
