The #EuropeanHeritageSummit is over and it has bee

The #EuropeanHeritageSummit is over and it has been a great pleasure for us to participate in the discussions and exchange of ideas for the future of cultural heritage🗣️🏦!

During this three-day summit in Venice, we were delighted to hear the presentations of the winners of the #EuropeanHeritageAwards 2023🏅, who demonstrated the great resilience and creativity of cultural heritage initiatives and the passionate people behind them.

But the greatest outcomes of this summit are yet to come🔜⤵️

🔸Heritage organisations are now working on the revision of the “Venice Call to Action to put Culture and Heritage at the Heart of Climate Action”, which is intended to be the starting point of a campaign for the recognition of the contribution of #CulturalHeritage to #ClimateAction and to empower the culture and cultural heritage sector. The draft was presented at the first public meeting of the #EuropeanHeritageHub.

🔸The second document that aims to highlight the importance of cultural heritage is the “Venice Manifesto on European Cultural Citizenship”, which stresses the power of our shared cultural heritage as a bond that unites Europe's diverse and multicultural society.

👥️Thanks to everyone who joined us online and

👥️Thanks to everyone who joined us online and in Aachen for the masterclass "Reconstruction of religious buildings in 20th and 21st century Europe: monuments, heritage and identity"!

We hope you will take away many useful ideas and new perspectives on the concept of "reconstruction", which was certainly enriched with the wonderful examples shared by our experts from Ukraine, Belgium, Estonia, Germany, France, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Czech Republic, Lithuanian, Hungary, Romania and Sweden ⛪️ 🕍 🕌.

After these two insightful days we can conclude by saying that reconstruction is not just about rebuilding, there are many cultural heritage layers involved: it is about protecting the values and the meaning of the building for the society, revitalising communities, recreating old heritage crafts and pass them on to the next generation, and preserving our rich and diverse cultural heritage landscape.

📺 🔜 The recording will be available soon on our YouTube channel. Stay tuned!
