ABOUT US

Youth.Heritage.Europe. was born in 2025 to carry forward and scale up the mission of the
​European Students’ Association for Cultural Heritage (ESACH).

ESACH began as an informal, youth-led network created in 2017 in the run-up to the European Year of Cultural Heritage 2018, to put younger voices at the center of Europe’s cultural conversation.

We inherit that spirit and extend it to a larger, more connected community with more initiatives and deeper impact.

We are based in Spain, working with partners and peers across Europe and around the world.
​
If you’re a student, early-career professional, researcher, activist, or simply passionate about heritage, you belong here!
