It suffers from dramatic depopulation\, with many inhabitants at risk of exclusion because of the digital divide or geographic isolation. Due to this\, the Liébana Centre of Studies was founded by the Regional Government to offer cultural\, artistic and educational activities to over 6\,000 inhabitants at risk of exclusion. Located in a thousand-year old church\, Liébana is a public-private initiative that has improved the local awareness of the value of the regional religious heritage. The process has included a fourfold strategic dimension which has taken into account a research dimension\, acquisition and protection of infrastructure\, an approach to business development and a marketing concept linked to tourism. \n \n \n \n \n \n What to expect\nDuring this session\, you will get some insights into the content of the Cultural Heritage in Action peer-learning visit in Cantabria (Spain). You will learn about the challenges of the Liébana Centre of Studies with Pilar Bahamonde and Javier Cantera focusing on managing this heritage site\, but also on the regional perspective (connecting sites and stakeholders) and sharing lessons learnt in community engagement. \nTwo related cases from the group who attended the peer-learning visit in Cantabria will then be presented: \n\nPublic Institution Fortress of Cultural Sibenik\, Croatia\nADRAL\, Alentejo Regional Development Agency\, Portugal\n\nThe presentations will be followed by a group reflection. Participants will be given the opportunity to react and ask burning questions to the presenters before each city presents their selected challenge in relation to their case study.The experts who attended the visit in Cantabria will guide the group through an in-depth exploration of the cases\, collecting recommendations and feedback. \n \n \n \n \n \n Why should you join?\nDuring this session\, you will get some insights into the content of the peer learning visit in Cantabria and the analysis of heritage management\, regional development and community involvement in rural areas. Two cities and regions will present good practices highlighted during the visit\, focusing on the background\, challenges faced related to the theme of the session\, solutions\, management model\, transferability of the practice and impact.The essence of the advice can be captured as “top tips”. Presenting cities and regions will reflect on what they’ve heard and provide additional information. The session will also be an opportunity to discuss your own challenges and present your examples. \nThe session will provide an occasion to engage in discussion with peers from other European local authorities. We will also provide access to the materials shared during the peer learning visit with all participants in the online deep-diving session. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Register now\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Meeting Agenda \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Click to open URL:https://culturalheritageinaction.eu/event/deep-diving-session-following-the-peer-learning-visit-in-cantabria/ CATEGORIES:Peer learning visit,Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://culturalheritageinaction.eu/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/11/Cantabria-DSC_1967-Panorama.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Brussels:20221110T163000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Brussels:20221110T180000 DTSTAMP:20260428T235616 CREATED:20221103T174227Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221103T175357Z UID:258194-1668097800-1668103200@culturalheritageinaction.eu SUMMARY:Sharing stories webinar #4 DESCRIPTION:Mobilising cultural heritage for transformative climate action: addressing the climate and biodiversity crisis in urban contexts\nWe invite you to join a webinar exploring the contributions of cultural heritage to achieve the objectives of the European Green Deal; presenting and discussing successful heritage-led climate action examples carried out in Europe’s cities and regions; presenting and discussing the findings of the latest policy documents on this topic\, including the OMC Group report on Strengthening cultural heritage resilience for climate change as well as the “European Cultural Heritage Green Paper: Putting Europe’s shared heritage at the heart of the European Green Deal”. \nThe webinar will be on Thursday 10 November 2022 at 16.30 CET\, as part of our EU-funded Cultural Heritage in Action peer-learning programme. \nAs revealed by the recently published report by a group of EU Member States’ experts entitled “Strengthening cultural heritage resilience for climate change: Where the European Green Deal meets cultural heritage”\, “cultural heritage is under attack from climate change at an unprecedented speed and scale”. \nThe most evident threats stem from extreme climatic events: severe precipitation\, long heatwaves\, droughts\, strong winds and sea-level rise – all of which will increase dramatically in the future. The impacts of these extreme weather events come in addition to slower deteriorations caused by increase in temperatures\, the fluctuations in humidity or fluctuations in freeze–thaw cycles. Preserving cultural heritage from the effects of climate change is becoming an increasing challenge for cities and regions. \nHowever\, as demonstrated by the “European Cultural Heritage Green Paper: Putting Europe’s shared heritage at the heart of the European Green Deal”\, cultural heritage also has an immense potential to contribute  to mitigating the climate and biodiversity crisis. From smart reuse of heritage buildings to using traditional agricultural know-how to support sustainable food systems\, cultural heritage can support Europe’s transition to become a green\, resilient and climate-neutral continent. \nWhile the UN Climate Change Conference (COP27) will be running in Sharm el-Sheikh\, the webinar will aim to discuss the threats posed by climate change to Europe’s heritage and showcase examples of positive climate action through cultural heritage in urban contexts. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Register now!\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Download the programme\nClick to open URL:https://culturalheritageinaction.eu/event/sharing-stories-4/ CATEGORIES:Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://culturalheritageinaction.eu/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/11/CHA-stories-series-visual-43.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Brussels:20221104T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Brussels:20221104T113000 DTSTAMP:20260428T235616 CREATED:20221010T141446Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221121T090903Z UID:258158-1667556000-1667561400@culturalheritageinaction.eu SUMMARY:Project clinic: Greening cities and regions through cultural heritage and community involvement DESCRIPTION:Objectives of the session\n\nTo further reflect on how to capitalise on cultural and natural heritage to advance the greening of cities and regions and to raise citizens and communities’ awareness about nature\, biodiversity and climate change.\nTo explore concrete projects carried out by other European cities which\, as Krakow\, are aiming to green the city\, reuse (heritage) spaces and promote positive climate action and environmental education.\nTo address specific challenges encountered in the implementation of such projects and collectively find solutions.\nTo extract transferable lessons that can be used in other European contexts.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n Kick starting: pocket parks in Krakow\nA large and populous urban environment\, Krakow suffers from a lack of easily accessible green spaces. As well as ecological and climate concerns\, this means a lack of places for community to meet and engage spontaneously. Developing large-scale green areas is costly and takes time. Meanwhile\, disused back-alleys and other hidden pockets of the city were breeding-grounds for anti-social behaviour.Krakow is solving all these problems at once by building pocket parks. These miniature parks are built in cooperation with local people in formerly neglected outdoor public spaces. They promote serendipitous community encounters and socialising\, and provide a healthful space that encourages residents to leave their homes. They also have ecological benefits\, helping bees and wildlife\, absorbing excess rainwater and fighting air pollution. \n \n \n \n \n \n Projects clinic\nParticipants will be given the opportunity to react and ask burning questions to the presenters before each city presents their selected challenge in relation to their case study.The experts who attended the visit in Krakow will guide the group through a collegial advice activity to address specific challenges encountered in the implementation of such projects and collectively find solutions. \nProject’s pitches: \n\nAmsterdam\, the Netherlands: “Counter for Heritage & Sustainability ” with Annette ten Doeschate\, policy advisor / project leader Heritage & Sustainability of the City of Amsterdam.\nBologna\, Italy: “Giardino della resilienza” – Resilience Park with Giulia Santone\, representative of the Management Office – Collective Living and Housing Support Office of the City of Bologna and Francesco Leonardo Nelli\, International Relations Officer of the City of Bologna.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n Why should you join?\nDuring this session\, you will get some insights into the content of the peer learning visit in Krakow and the analysis of models for sustainable city makeover through natural and cultural heritage. Two cities will present a “comparable” case to Krakow pocket parks\, focusing on the background\, the status of work to date\, and ambition\, and highlighting one or two key issues where they would welcome the input of other participants. The essence of the advice can be captured as “top tips”. Presenting cities will reflect on what they’ve heard and provide additional information. The session will also be an opportunity to discuss your own challenges and present your examples. \nThe session will provide an occasion to engage in discussion with peers from other European local authorities.

The Cable Factory building was due to be demolished after Nokia vacated it\, but the creative tenants lobbied the city\, which owned the land\, to keep the factory going as a creative hub.In 1991\, the City of Helsinki founded KAAPELI\, a limited real-estate company\, to convert the Cable Factory into a cultural centre. Today\, the centre comprises 63\,000 m2 of space\, used by 130 ateliers\, two bars\, 12 galleries\, three museums\, two restaurants\, multiple event venues and a brand-new dance house with two halls. In 2019\, roughly 1\,000 people worked at Cable Factory\, and more than 500\,000 attended events. \n \n \n \n \n \n Projects clinic\nFollowing three projects’ pitches\, participants question and dig into the presented pitches’ details. Participants reflect on the presenting cities’ projects and offer suggestions for overcoming barriers or accelerating/enabling activities.

We care for\, and with\, our communities and city. We care for objects\, buildings\, places and spaces. We care for our world\, and our staff and volunteer teams. Our vision is to create deeper connections with the people we serve using the collections and sites we care for\, and to widen our impact on the world. We believe that by deepening our relationships and understanding of what we do\, we will amplify our impact. \nLeeds Museums & Galleries (LMG) is one of the largest local authority-run museum service in England with some of the most significant multi-disciplinary collections in the UK. Our 196 (FTE) staff (including 33 externally funded posts) care for 1.3 million objects and manage nine venues. Pre-Covid our venues welcomed almost 1.7 million visitors and over 49\,000 schoolchildren. Our websites continue to attract 3.5 million page views\, and we have 300\,000 followers on social media. We contribute at least £24 million a year to the local economy. \nWe are proud to be a local authority museum service. This grounds us within communities and the structure of the city and gives a civic role for social justice; arts-led care\, health and wellbeing; environmental responsibility; and as tourist attractions who bring visitors into the city. The people and communities we work with deserve the very best quality museum and gallery service for their city. We aim to operate on a thriving\, circular economic model\, that builds mutually beneficial relationships and leads to inclusive environmental and financial sustainability. \nWithin our civic role\, we have created an organisational culture which supports experimentation\, risk taking and is based on trust\, and then staffed our structure with passionate people doing the right roles to fulfil our aims. This generates constant innovation\, develops long term relationships and enables us to measure impact. \nMore information. \n \n \n \n \n \n Questions to reflect on.\nIf there was one thing that you could take and implement from the Leeds example\, what would it be and why? What would be the local challenges and obstacles? How would you be able to adapt and/or re-create it? \n \n \n \n \n \n Why should you join?\nDuring this session\, you will get some insights into the content of the Leeds peer learning visit\, an in-depth analysis of one specific governance model\, and an opportunity to discuss your own challenges and present your examples. The session will provide an occasion to engage in discussion with peers from other European local authorities.

How does cultural tourism contribute to local development? What are some of the new digital solutions to foster a more sustainable urban tourism? \nThe webinar will be on Tuesday 03 May 2022 at 10.30 CET\, as part of our EU-funded Cultural Heritage in Action peer-learning programme. It will feature speakers from KU Leuven\, Florence and a European region TBC. You can see the programme and register here. \nA vibrant local cultural life and the presence of cultural heritage sites encourage people to travel: four in ten tourists already choose their destination on the basis of its cultural offering. \nTourism is one of cities’ major economic assets. It contributes to the local economy\, and generates jobs and social added value\, but can also generate downsides: over-tourism\, tensions with locals\, pressure on the use of public services and on housing prices. \nThere is a clear need to strike a balance between economic\, social\, cultural and environmental needs\, including the protection of cultural heritage\, to ensure the mid and long-term sustainability of tourism. \nWhile Europeans are starting to travel again\, planning recreational and cultural activities\, now is a good moment to reflect on urban tourism and developing practices\, to address changing consumer needs and develop local policies and projects for more resilient\, digital\, and greener practices. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n Register now!\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Download the programme\nClick to open URL:https://culturalheritageinaction.eu/event/sharing-stories-webinar-episode-3/ CATEGORIES:Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://culturalheritageinaction.eu/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/04/CHA-stories-series-visual-3-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Brussels:20220404T140000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Brussels:20220404T153000 DTSTAMP:20260428T235617 CREATED:20220315T162123Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220331T123754Z UID:257392-1649080800-1649086200@culturalheritageinaction.eu SUMMARY:Sharing stories webinar: episode 2 DESCRIPTION:Adaptive reuse of (industrial) buildings with a history\nEurope has a rich and multi-faceted built environment\, incorporating strong spiritual\, cultural\, social and economic values. Due to evolutions in our economies and societies\, many heritage sites\, whether listed or not\, are nowadays disused or have lost the functions for which they were originally built – notably industrial sites.  \nHowever\, heritage buildings that have lost their original function still embody their multiple values. Adaptive re-use offers itself as a strategy aimed at preserving the elements that contain these values\, while at the same time adapting the place for new uses and meeting needs of our time. Through smart renovation and transformation\, heritage sites can find new\, mixed or extended uses. As a result\, their social\, environmental and economic value is increased\, while their cultural significance is enhanced.  \nSensitive adaptive re-use of existing and historic buildings can also play a key role in Europe’s green transformation\, avoiding energy-intensive new construction and land use\, promoting waste-avoidance and preserving embodied energy while generating additional positive economic\, environmental\, social and cultural co-benefits. For this reason\, the re-use of (industrial) heritage buildings offer many opportunities for advancing the goals of the New European Bauhaus initiative launched by the European Commission in 2020.  \nAs illustrated by the first phase of the Cultural Heritage in Action project\, which had this topic as one of the main focuses\, the adaptive re-use of our built heritage brings multiple benefits to individuals and society\, for present and future generations. Yet\, it can still be regarded as being an unviable option\, while planning and building regulations may prevent the development of re-use projects.  \nThe webinar will give the opportunity to explore\, through concrete examples\, the benefits of re-using heritage sites; challenges inherent to adaptive re-use projects; drivers of quality interventions on cultural heritage. \n \n \n \n \n \n Register now\n \n \n \n \n \n Download the programme\nclick here URL:https://culturalheritageinaction.eu/event/sharing-stories-webinar-episode-2/ CATEGORIES:Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://culturalheritageinaction.eu/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/03/CHA-Web-series-2-website-socials-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Brussels:20220228T140000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Brussels:20220228T153000 DTSTAMP:20260428T235617 CREATED:20220203T095924Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220210T095923Z UID:257250-1646056800-1646062200@culturalheritageinaction.eu SUMMARY:Sharing stories webinar: episode 1 DESCRIPTION:Learning through\, with and about cultural heritage: education\, training and literacy in European cities and regions\n \n \n \n \n \n We invite you to join a webinar exploring the interrelations between cultural heritage\, education\, training and literacy: how can local cultural heritage promote new learning environments in education and help strengthen key competences such as literacy\, language\, cultural awareness and engagement? How can cities and regions support learning through\, with and about cultural heritage? \nThe webinar will be on Monday 28 February at 14.00 CET\, as part of our EU-funded Cultural Heritage in Action peer-learning programme. It will feature speakers from Leeuwarden\, Edinburgh\, and Helsinki. The European Commission will also present the European Year of Youth\, an initiative for Young Europeans to benefit from many opportunities to gain knowledge\, skills\, and competences for their professional development\, and to strengthen their civic engagement to shape Europe’s future. \nTransmission is an integral aspect of cultural heritage. Telling\, writing and reading stories has been a common tradition all over Europe for centuries. Oral history\, memories and local customs are passed on from generation to generation and have shaped communities\, contributing to a strong European cultural heritage. But this European cultural heritage can also play a more social and educational role for young generations. \nRaising awareness of local cultural heritage\, developing competence in cultural expression\, as well as promoting preservation and conservation techniques of heritage buildings\, landscapes or traditions\, are key in keeping European heritage alive for future generations. \nAcross Europe\, European cities and regions create opportunities for young citizens to discover and engage with their cultural roots while continuously improving key competences such as literacy\, multilingualism and cultural awareness. During this webinar\, you will discover inspirational examples from Leeuwarden\, Edinburgh\, and Helsinki and find out what can be achieved when education\, training\, and youth engagement meet cultural heritage. \n  \n \n \n \n \n \n Register now!\n \n \n \n \n \n Download the programme URL:https://culturalheritageinaction.eu/event/sharing-stories-webinar-first-episode/ CATEGORIES:Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://culturalheritageinaction.eu/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/02/CHA-stories-series-visual-website-2-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Brussels:20220121T080000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Brussels:20220211T233000 DTSTAMP:20260428T235617 CREATED:20220121T085152Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220210T135231Z UID:257202-1642752000-1644622200@culturalheritageinaction.eu SUMMARY:Call for experts DESCRIPTION: \nApplication deadline: 11 February 2022\nIn the context of the Cultural Heritage in Action project\, Eurocities asbl (as project leader) is looking for high-level experts with different backgrounds (academia\, consultancy\, international organisations or local administrations) to complete a consortium team bringing together a unique experience of working with cities\, regions and stakeholders on cultural heritage. \nYou can download the application here. \n  URL:https://culturalheritageinaction.eu/event/call-for-experts/ CATEGORIES:Application Platform ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://culturalheritageinaction.eu/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2022/02/Megaphone.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Helsinki:20211208T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Helsinki:20211208T120000 DTSTAMP:20260428T235617 CREATED:20211109T042800Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211208T140002Z UID:255776-1638957600-1638964800@culturalheritageinaction.eu SUMMARY:Cultural Heritage in Action: online event.
