Member Survey: What now? The impact of Covid-19 on cultural heritage students and steps forward
 
Last month ESACH launched its very own member survey to better understand how the pandemic's situation has affected the lives of young heritage professionals in Europe. Since the heritage field has been one of the most deeply affected by lockdowns and travel restrictions, our team wants you to have a say in the activities and strategies that we will develop in the upcoming months. We sincerely believe that getting to know our members' experiences is the key to a better and faster recovery!

Partnership: Europa Nostra & Erasmus Student Network
 
We bring great news for all the heritage students in Europe! At the end of June, Europa Nostra has formalized an exciting partnership with the Erasmus Student Network. The two institutions have come together to launch a project called Cultural Heritage on Erasmus, endorsed by the European Commission and the European Parliament’s Committee on Culture and Education. Its biggest goal is to "make cultural heritage a greater part of the Erasmus experience while promoting Erasmus mobility opportunities for heritage students". ESACH will keep you updated on opportunities that might come from this project in the future!

ICOMOS Conference: Post-War Heritage of Art and Architecture in Central and Eastern Europe
 
This month ICOMOS is holding a conference on Post-War Heritage of Art and Architecture in Central and Eastern Europe. The debates will deal with the sensitive topic of how to manage and safeguard sites that are related to unpleasant historical events or figures. The idea behind this initiative is that this type of heritage can be used to commemorate the resistance to war, tyranny, oppression, and genocide. The event will take place on July 22 and 23, and more information can be found here.
