The project

Cultural Heritage in Action is a peer-learning programme for local and regional policy makers to exchange knowledge on cultural heritage, with a focus on participatory governance, adaptive reuse and quality of interventions.

Our role

KEA will act as the scientific coordinator of the project and will be in charge of several project’s elements. KEA will draw up part of the catalogue of good practices with 8 case studies, coordinate and provide expert insights to 6 of the 12 peer-learning visits and prepare the final report with a thematic analysis of cultural heritage developments in cities and regions, main outcomes and lessons learnt from the project, and policy recommendations.

Summary of the project

Cultural Heritage in Action is one of the actions of the European Framework for Action on Cultural Heritage of the European Commission. It is a peer-learning programme that will allow over 100 local and regional policy makers to exchange knowledge on cultural heritage, with a focus on participatory governance, adaptive reuse and quality of interventions.

The project shall empower cities and regions to strengthen their cultural heritage policies and initiatives as well as develop innovative solutions to preserve cultural heritage assets.

The consortium led by EUROCITIES with KEA, ERRIN, Europa Nostra and Architects’ Council of Europe leads the project funded by the European Union’s Creative Europe programme from January 2020 to April 2021.
