The European Heritage Hub project invites city representatives and heritage professionals to apply for its upcoming peer-learning visit in Nantes (France), taking place 6 – 8 November 2024. Organised in partnership with the City of Nantes, this programme offers a unique opportunity to share good practices and acquire skills for addressing environmental, digital, and social challenges related to cultural heritage in local contexts.
The visit is part of the Hub's Open Call for Local Good Practices, launched in November 2023, recognising exemplary local solutions in cultural heritage that contribute to the green, digital, and social transformation of our society. Nantes was among the 10 selected practices having presented its project "Nantes Cultural Heritage 2.0 — Digital portal developed with citizens for discovery of the city's heritage", which will be the main focus of the visit. The online platform was launched in May 2019 and has significantly grown since then, offering more ways for citizens to discover local heritage.
A peer-learning visit is an opportunity for local decision-makers and stakeholders to spend time in another city and see first-hand relevant local solutions that can be inspiring for other regions and initiatives. It is a chance for meaningful exchanges among peers already active in cultural heritage as well as for those eager to transform their heritage projects and policies into more sustainable, innovative, and inclusive ones.
Who can apply?
Professionals that work in cultural heritage for a local, regional, or national administration, civil society organisation, cultural initiative, or project across Europe, including Ukraine, Moldova, Western Balkans (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo*, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia) and the Caucasus (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia) – are all welcome to apply.
The group of maximum 20 selected participants will be composed of representatives from European cities and regions, but is also open to a limited number of cultural heritage stakeholders.
*This designation is without prejudice to positions on status, and is in line with UNSCR 1244/1999 and the ICJ Opinion on the Kosovo declaration of independence.
