“Ethno fest Glavičica” revives the cultural life in Parteš

Most of the locals attended the celebration of "Ethno Fest Glavičica" which revived the cultural life of this small municipality, which is not very rich, inhabited by the Serbian community. "Ethno Fest Glavičica" was opened on the 11th of August and lasted until the 25th of September 2015, aiming to revive the tradition, spiritual and cultural heritage of this region. As a part of this project, series of activities were held, such as: art colony, exhibition of old artefacts, literacy evening, etc.

"Ethno Fest Glavičica" is implemented by two local NGOs "Youth Parteš Activity" and "Eco Program Kosovo" and is part of the priorities of the Local Cultural Heritage Plan of the Municipality of Parteš. This plan was developed under the Program of Local Cultural Heritage Plans in 7 municipalities of Kosovo by Cultural Heritage without Borders (CHwB), the Municipality of Parteš and other central institutions, and is funded by Sweden.

With the help and support of the Swiss organization "Logos", Ethno house was built in 2012 in the village Pasjan of the municipality of Parteš. As a part of the "Ethno Fest Glavičica" this house is now in use and is enriched with old artefacts, collected by the local community. This day coincided with the celebration of the great Christian feast of Saint Transfiguration, thus the exhibition lasted a whole day and was attended by citizens and visitors who normally come to Pasjan for the feast.
