The project addresses different aspects of cultural heritage, such as handicrafts, vernacular architecture, oral tradition and music, traditional lifestyles, food processing and cooking, landscape features. The aim is to highlight the common European heritage relating to shepherding with all its implications for the present day society, now that this occupation has been undervalued, leading shepherds to social exclusion. Remoteness and social isolation has created a lifestyle and a public image of the shepherd as a “different” person. The project aims to re-instate the cultural, economic and social value of pastoral life and shepherding, by illustrating the importance of the cultural heritage surrounding it.
