On December 20, 2024, at the National History Museum of Moldova, the closing event of the "Artifact from TA locality" project took place, which aimed to disseminate the research of the National Cultural Heritage in the rural communities of the Republic of Moldova, through a series of educational activities and valorization of local historical artifacts.

Eugen Sava, dr. hab., the general director of the museum, Gheorghe Postică, prof. Dr. hab., head of the History, archeology and museology section within MNIM, Valeria Suruceanu, administrator of ICOM Moldova and Livia Ermurachi, project coordinator.

All the speakers highlighted the positive impact of the project on the conservation, promotion and transmission to the general public of cultural and historical values and emphasized the essential role of collaboration between heritage experts, public institutions and local communities in ensuring sustainable cultural education.

During the event, the launch of the project brochure took place, the scientific publication containing the main results obtained from the project. The booklet includes detailed descriptions of the 24 artefacts selected and utilized by the project, as well as documentation of the activities carried out within the communities involved. The material represents both an educational resource and a testimony of the process of conservation and promotion of the National Archaeological Heritage.

In recognition of the efforts made, the organizers awarded diplomas of appreciation to the partner institutions and the people involved in the realization of the project. Among them are specialists in archaeology, teaching staff, volunteers and representatives of the local public administration, whose input was essential for the success of the initiative.

The "Artifact from TA locality" project demonstrated the importance of valorizing the National Cultural Heritage as a central element of the identity of local communities and the education of the young generation, strengthening the connection between history, culture and society.
