Yet the listed sites also serve as an example of how heritage can help shape a resilient future. As expressed by Normunds Popens, Deputy Director-General of DG EAC at the European Commission 🇪🇺, “Cultural heritage is a value in itself, but it also brings development, sustainability & innovation. We must work together to ensure this is understood”. 🙏  We wish to thank & congratulate all nominators for their commendable efforts. As stated by our Executive Vice-President, Clausse Guy, “Their voluntary dedication & wealth of knowledge have been instrumental in advancing the cause of cultural heritage preservation throughout Europe, benefiting local communities immeasurably.” The call for nominations for the 7 Most Endangered 2025 is now open!

The European #HeritageYouthResidency 2024 begins today in Romania! 🇷🇴 🏞 A group of 15 young students and professionals from various European countries are coming together to discuss heritage and sustainable tourism. They will partake in hiking and other hands-on heritage activities. The participants will see first-hand how heritage policies and projects around sustainable tourism have been successfully implemented. This includes the Via Transilvanica, a 1,400 km hiking trail offering a journey through Romanian heritage, and the Ambulance for Monuments, an innovative programme to carry out emergency repairs on heritage buildings in Romania. The European Heritage Youth Residency is organised by Europa Nostra, Tășuleasa Social and Asociația Monumentum, with the support of the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union. 👉 https://lnkd.in/dSQymGwb ESACH Be.CULTOUR

Today we celebrated the fantastic achievement of the team behind MINIARE: The Art & Science of Manuscript Heritage - an outstanding project that won a prestigious #EuropeanHeritageAward in the research category in 2023. In a short presentation Europa Nostra UK Chair Sara Robertson outlined three of the key reasons why the project won the respect of the Europa Nostra awards jury. 🗺 Connections: The medieval manuscripts demonstrate the network of trade connections that spanned Europe and beyond. And we now have evidence of the multicultural nature of artisanal workshops too. 👩🏻⚕️ Collaboration: The success of the project derives from the close collaboration of many skilled professionals working across disciplines - heritage scientists, art historians, curators. 📢 Communication: The team are talented storytellers and continue to generously share their learning with a wide range of audiences in a highly engaging way. With thanks to Graham Bell UK and Joanna Karmowska for the photos. L-R: Luke Syson, Sara Robertson, Denis Severis

🗞 We're proud to allocate grants to 14 heritage civil society-led projects in EU neighbouring countries under the framework of the European Heritage Hub and thanks to the vital initial funding from the EU & our partner ALIPH - International alliance for the protection of heritage in conflict areas 🙏 With 600 submissions, the Scheme underscores the relevance of such funding, but also highlights the lack of sufficient support for heritage civil society organisations dedicated to the protection and promotion of Europe’s shared heritage, both tangible & intangible, in EU neighbouring countries 🏛️ 🌿 Much more can and should be done. We hope this marks just the beginning! Find out more about the Scheme and the selected projects: https://lnkd.in/d2wTDYW2
