In September 2023, ESACH team together with its partners launched the "Youth for the future of cultural heritage in Europe" Position Paper!
What is it about? The position paper titled "Youth for the future of cultural heritage in Europe" emphasises the importance of youth in preserving and promoting cultural heritage, especially in the face of climate change.
The paper was developed as a follow up to the 2022 European Year of Youth and aims to bring forward the priorities of youth for cultural heritage. It highlights the need for inclusion, collaboration, intergenerational exchange, strengthening the sector, and embracing new technologies.
The paper invites readers and partners to sign a pledge committing to these principles and working towards a sustainable and inclusive future for cultural heritage in Europe. It highlights the importance of taking action now and working together to fully unleash the potential of cultural heritage. FIND OUT BELOW HOW TO SIGN THE PLEDGE and join this movement!
The next steps include an awareness and dissemination campaign, spin-off events, and engagement with stakeholders.

THE ESACH QUARTERLY N°3
|
A central activity was the online consultation, within the Europa Nostra project “European Cultural Heritage Agora: Empowering Europe’s Civil Society Movement for Heritage” (2022-2024), co-funded by Creative Europe, and which was a first step in crafting youth’s contribution to the future of cultural heritage in Europe.
The responses were complemented by in-depth interviews. The findings from the Europe-wide consultation were collected, analysed, and curated in the dedicated issue of The ESACH Quarterly, the digital publication of the European Students’ Association for Cultural Heritage. Learn more here. |
