European Year of Cultural Heritage 2018

None

Throughout 2018, we will celebrate our diverse cultural heritage across Europe - at EU, national, regional and local level. The aim of the European Year of Cultural Heritage is to encourage more people to discover and engage with Europe's cultural heritage, and to reinforce a sense of belonging to a common European space.

The slogan for the year is: Our heritage: where the past meets the future.

To achieve this objective, the Heritage Council is inviting organisations and individuals to take action and respond to the theme.
