Summary
In continuation of an INTERREG IV project for creating an inventory of built heritage in the area, the LAG de la Botte du Hainaut, which had developed the inventory in four municipalities of the area, decided to continue this work by including in the inventory another 14 villages. The aim was to have an updated inventory of built heritage for the whole area.
The RDP support was used for the coordination and facilitation of the project through hiring a project officer to steer the specific activities in cooperation with the relevant partners and their targets groups, including the local population, certain groups of inhabitants in smaller locations, scholars and teachers.
