The European Cultural Heritage Summit 2021 “For a new European Renaissance”The 2021 edition of European Cultural Heritage Summit took place from 21 to 24 September 2021 in Venice, Italy, organised by Europa Nostra, the European Voice of Civil Society Committed to Cultural Heritage, with the support of the European Union (through the Creative Europe and Horizon 2020 programmes) under the patronage of European Parliament and in collaboration with other European and Italian partners. The format of the event was hybrid: a selected and limited number of stakeholders was on-site while a wider audience had the opportunity to engage with the event virtually, in livestreaming. The event was the occasion to celebrate excellence in cultural heritage skills, and to debate the value of cultural heritage for a sustainable and inclusive post-pandemic recovery of Europe. It also offered the opportunity to discuss and demonstrate the role of cultural heritage for ensuring the success of two key citizen-driven initiatives launched by the EU institutions: the New European Bauhaus, of which Europa Nostra is proud to be civil society partner, and the Conference on the Future of Europe. Some highlights of the Summit:
A concrete outcome of the Agora was the Venice Call to Action: “For a New European Renaissance”. It contains over than 10 concrete and actionable proposals aiming European leaders at all levels of governance to duly integrate culture and cultural heritage in their ongoing and future priorities.
