The two\u2011year Latvia\u2013Lithuania cross\u2011border cooperation project \u201cDigital Crafts Tourism\u201d (D-tour) has concluded, resulting in the creation of a new cultural tourism route. The route consists of five digital exhibitions, each highlighting a different field of traditional craftsmanship.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the beginning of January 2026, the Latgale Planning Region, in cooperation with the Daugavpils City Municipality institution\u00a0Vien\u012bbas nams<\/em>\u00a0and Kr\u0101slava Municipality, invited visitors on a journey through time. Opening celebrations of new, contemporary digital exhibitions took place in Daugavpils and Kr\u0101slava, offering an opportunity to explore ancient craft skills, traditional ways of life, and the values of wooden architecture through a modern, interactive digital format.<\/p>\n

On 7 January, the doors of the Craftsmanship and Life Wisdom Exhibition opened to visitors at the Traditions House of Daugavpils Unity House. The exhibition is dedicated to the world of the Latgalian farmstead \u2013 a place where everyday life, work, and family traditions unfolded through the changing seasons. It offers a contemporary interpretation of ancient crafts, allowing visitors to discover them through visual imagery, sound, hands-on activities, and interactive storytelling.<\/p>\n

From early morning, children and young people visited the Traditions House to take part in creative activities together with local historian Evija Ma\u013ckevi\u010da-Grundele, bathhouse master Dzintra Abarone, splint basket-weaving craftsman Andris Ka\u010dk\u0101ns, and blacksmith Edgars Vronskis. Together with the head of the Traditions House, Baiba Pankj\u0101ne, children explored the new exhibition and, under the guidance of the masters, learned how threads were made in the past, the significance of the traditional bathhouse, and how splint baskets and metal jewellery were crafted.<\/p>\n

In the evening, the celebration was enriched by songs performed by the folklore group\u00a0Sv\u0101tra<\/em>\u00a0of Daugavpils Unity House. Guests were addressed by L\u012bvija Jankovska, Member of the Daugavpils City Council and Chair of the Committee on Education, Culture and Social Affairs; Iveta Ma\u013cina-Tab\u016bne, Head of the Administration of the Latgale Planning Region and Manager of the Latgale Special Economic Zone; Ints B\u0113rzi\u0146\u0161, Head of the smart technologies company\u00a0SIA Solavi<\/em>; Director of Unity House Di\u0101na Sold\u0101ne; and senior expert of the Latvia\u2013Lithuania Programme, L\u012bga Upeniece.<\/p>\n

On 8 January, the multimedia exhibition \u201cTHE CODE OF WOOD. The Values of Kr\u0101slava\u2019s Wooden Architecture\u201d was opened in Kr\u0101slava. The exhibition tells the story of the importance of wood in Latgale\u2019s cultural environment and craftsmanship. Visitors can explore the development of Kr\u0101slava\u2019s wooden buildings, view traditional craftsmen\u2019s tools and decorative elements, and take part in creative activities that reveal the construction principles and aesthetic qualities of wooden architecture.<\/p>\n

On the opening day, workshops for children and young people were led by woodcraft master Aivars And\u017e\u0101ns. Musician and instrument maker Aleksandrs Maijers introduced visitors to the world of wooden musical instruments. Many attendees gathered for a discussion with architect \u0122ertr\u016bde Rasna\u010da on the distinctive features of single-farmstead wooden architecture in South Latgale.<\/p>\n

The opening event was moderated by Sarm\u012bte Teiv\u0101ne, Project Manager of\u00a0Digital Crafts Tourism<\/em>. Welcoming speeches were delivered by Inese Vorslova, Deputy Executive Director of Kr\u0101slava Municipality for Financial Affairs; Alla Lomanovska, Acting Director of the Kr\u0101slava Regional Museum; exhibition creator Didzis Jaunzems; and senior expert of the Latvia\u2013Lithuania Programme, L\u012bga Upeniece. A special atmosphere was created by the musical performances of instrument maker and musician Aleksandrs Maijers.<\/p>\n

The celebrations were organised by the lead partner of the project\u00a0Digital Crafts Tourism<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 the Latgale Planning Region (Latvia), together with all project partners: Daugavpils City Municipality institution\u00a0Vien\u012bbas nams<\/em>\u00a0(Latvia), Kr\u0101slava Municipality (Latvia), Anyk\u0161\u010diai Art Incubator \u2013 Art Gallery (Lithuania), and the Administration of Panev\u0117\u017eys District Municipality (Lithuania).<\/p>\n

Iveta Ma\u013cina-Tab\u016bne, Head of the Administration of the Latgale Planning Region and Manager of the Latgale Special Economic Zone, emphasises that in order to preserve and promote traditional cultural values more effectively and to pass on the knowledge and skills of intangible cultural heritage practitioners to future generations, it is essential to diversify approaches and introduce modern methods and tools. Direct, in-person transmission of skills from tradition bearers is not always possible, making digital solutions increasingly important.<\/p>\n

Overall, five digital exhibitions have been opened within the project:<\/strong>
\n\u2013 the Latgalian farmstead at the Traditions House in Daugavpils;
\n\u2013 wooden architecture and woodcarving at the Kr\u0101slava Palace Complex;
\n\u2013 ceramics at the Anyk\u0161\u010diai Art Incubator \u2013 Art Gallery;
\n\u2013 flax weaving and traditional folk musical instruments in Upyt\u0117 village, Panev\u0117\u017eys district.<\/p>\n

The newly opened exhibitions demonstrate that cultural heritage can be vibrant, engaging, and contemporary. They not only tell stories of the past but also inspire visitors to reflect on the role of craftsmanship and architecture today.<\/p>\n

The Craftsmanship and Life Wisdom Exhibition in Daugavpils and \u201cThe Code of Wood\u201d exhibition in Kr\u0101slava remain open to visitors \u2013 to everyone who wishes to experience the stories of Latgale in a digital, emotional, and deeply personal way.<\/p>\n

The total project budget is EUR 697 275.\u00a0 The project is co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund with EUR 557 820.<\/p>\n
