The territory of Grodno and Bialystok are a part of multicultural and multilingual cross-border region. Many representatives of Polish culture and science such as Orzeszkowa, Mickiewicz, Zamenhof, etc. cannot be studied properly without taking into consideration Belarusian factor as they were born and lived in the territory of the present day Belarus. That is why the studies of the figures belonging to various cultures require joint effort of scientists from both Poland and Belarus. In accordance with the Programme priority, the present project aims at promoting cross-border region’s culture and history by preserving and promoting Orzeszkowa’s and Zamenhof’s historical and litterary heritage and encouraging the development of cross-border tourism, as well as increasing the diversity and quality of existing tourist services.

The present project will join Belarusian and Polish researchers in order to bridge the gaps in the existing tourist services infrastructure. The project will have two main outputs which will improve considerably touristic life of Grodno and Bialystok by enriching cultural and touristic potential of Grodno, Bialystok and nearby territory and increasing the amount of tourist services provided at this cross-border region. The first output is the brand new tourist route „Orzeszkowa’s life and work paths". It will connect all historically and culturally important places related to the Polish writer’s life in Grodno and Grodno region territory and ten information boards will be installed at the key points of the route. The route will be accompanied by a specially designed excursion available in three language versions (Belarusian, Polish and English). The second output will be already existing in Bialystok touristic route „Szlak esperanto i wielu kultur" (The Esperanto and Multicultural route) improved in the course of the project implementation. The improvement of the route will deal with the elaboration of a specially designed excursion available in three language versions (Belarusian, Polish and English) containing the facts that are presented now and the new facts determined by the research community. For both routes promotional materials such as fliers and information brochures will be published in the three languages versions in order to promote and sustain the results of the project.
