Organised in partnership with the City of Glasgow, 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. Glasgow was among the 10 selected practices, having presented its ‘Pollok Stables and Sawmill Refurbishment’ project, showcasing exemplary local solutions in the field of cultural heritage that contribute to the green, digital, and social transformation of our society.

The main location for the visit will be the Pollok Country Park, home to two major inclusive cultural heritage development projects: the Pollok Country Park Stables & Sawmill and the Burrell Renaissance Project .

If you 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) – then this opportunity is made for you!

The group of 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. The visit will last 2.5 days and 2 nights and will combine meetings with local policymakers and stakeholders, site visits, and facilitated solution-building workshops. The working language will be English.

The European Heritage Hub will cover travel and accommodation costs (2 nights) for participants as well as meals during the stay.

Find out more and make sure to apply by completing this online form by 22 May (end of day CET). 

Deadline: 22 May 2024
