Europa Nostra and the partners of the EU-funded project ‘Cultural Heritage Counts for Europe’ (CHCFE) have revealed in a report the main findings and strategic recommendations for tapping into heritage’s full potential by providing compelling evidence of the value of cultural heritage and its impact on Europe’s economy, culture, society and the environment. Key findings show how adopting a holistic approach is an added value when measuring the impact of cultural heritage on employment, identity, regional attractiveness, creativity and innovation, economic contribution, climate change, quality of life, education and lifelong learning, and social cohesion.
The CHCFE key findings will be further discussed at the European Parliament on 16 September, and the CHCFE Book will be presented to the public on 22 October at a networking evening kindly hosted by Bertelsmann.
