The European Heritage Days (EHD), a joint action of the Council of Europe and the European Commission, are the most widely celebrated participatory cultural events shared by people living in Europe. The pan-European nature of the events contributes to bringing people together and highlighting the European dimension and the value of cultural heritage in the signatory States of the European Cultural Convention. Thousands of events are organised every year in order to help raise awareness of Europe’s common heritage and the continuous need for its protection, as well as to create shared cultural heritage experiences, promote inclusiveness and foster creativity and imagination.
Every year there is a theme for European Heritage Days, which all participating countries are encouraged to adopt for their annual programme.
This brochure will help you think about how to deliver your 2024 programme based on the theme of Routes, Networks and Connections.
