Under the Slovenian Presidency of the Council it is announced the Europeana conference ‘Driving engagement – participatory approaches to digital cultural heritage’ on 2 and 3 December.

An accompanying event of the Slovenian Presidency, the conference will explore aspects of public engagement and participation with digital cultural heritage in a series of speeches, presentations, and moderated Q&A sessions. A diverse line up of speakers will introduce current practices and trends in digital participation, and discuss the current opportunities and challenges in this area.
