| The European Cultural Heritage Summit 2022 will take place from 25 to 27 September in Prague, marking the 30th anniversary of the inscription of its historic centre on the World Heritage List. The Summit is organised by Europa Nostra and Europa Nostra Representation in the Czech Republic in cooperation with, , and with the support of, the European Commission and the Czech Ministry of Culture, as part of the official programme of the Czech Presidency of the Council of the European Union. It is also a contribution to the European Year of Youth 2022 and the New European Bauhaus initiative. The Summit is partially funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union.
The Prague Summit will bring together heritage stakeholders, policy-makers at all levels of governance, civil society organisations as well as heritage enthusiasts from all across Europe and beyond. It is our wish to use this Summit as a platform to mobilise Europe’s heritage ecosystem to jointly act for a more peaceful and sustainable future of Europe’s society, economy and environment. In the face of the ongoing deplorable Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which Europa Nostra firmly condemns, we are indeed ever more convinced of the urgent need to place Europe’s common values and shared cultural heritage at the very heart of our democracies and of what brings us together. In order to participate in the Prague Summit, you are required to register your attendance. |
