| This European Conference on Civil Society Organisations in the Field
of Heritage will address the questions of active citizenship, civil
society and volunteer organisations (NGOs) in the European heritage
sector. The conference will provide a platform for European organisations
active in all fields of heritage – both tangible and intangible
– to share relevant experiences, good practices and success
stories.
At the conference 180 European participants will represent the
diversity of the European civil society for heritage. The attendees
will be mostly representatives of European heritage NGOs and prominent
European heritage experts. Chief executives from national heritage
authorities and representatives of international organisations will
also significantly contribute to the content of the conference.
Themes include:
- support of voluntary heritage initiatives
- quality management in heritage NGOs
- visibility of heritage organisations
- creation of (international) heritage networks
- the value of cultural heritage for society
- intercultural dialogue
