European Heritage Hub: a new project to strengthen the cultural heritage-driven movement in Europe. The new pilot project will gather diverse expertise and pool resources to mobilise and strengthen a cultural heritage-driven movement in Europe. The European Commission has selected a consortium led by Europa Nostra to implement the European Heritage Hub pilot project. The group of European partners include Europeana Foundation Eurocities, ICLEI Local Governments for Sustainability, KU Leuven. The pilot project will run for two years (Spring 2023 - Spring 2025).

The European Heritage Hub will be a knowledge-sharing, networking, training and capacity-building as well as advocacy platform for cultural heritage stakeholders, at European, national and regional levels. This new EU project will seek to strengthen the engagement of citizens with Europe’s cultural heritage. It will particularly focus on attracting the younger generation of heritage professionals, following the European Year of Youth 2022. The hub will also drive policy analysis, development and advocacy build connections with existing EU-level initiatives, and generate communication and awareness-raising campaigns on safeguarding cultural heritage.

The hub will build on the success of the European Year of Cultural Heritage 2018, and on the European Framework for Action on Cultural Heritage, established by the European Commission with the aim to capture and scale-up the success of the European Year and to ensure its lasting impact, through an ambitious set of 60 actions.
