Such an event has a special and symbolic meaning as the organization celebrates its 60th anniversary, and 2023 was a year of consolidation and further expansion of the organization's activities for the benefit of Europe's common heritage.
The devastating consequences of Russia's aggressive war in Ukraine, in particular with regard to cultural heritage, continue to require adequate efforts at the stage of the country's recovery.
So far, the organization has raised more than €150,000 to support defenders of cultural heritage in Ukraine through a joint solidarity campaign.
In addition, in May, Europa Nostra, together with a strong team of European partners and member organizations, launched the European Heritage Hub project:
- mobilizing stakeholders at all levels of government to promote climate action on heritage and culture;
- attracting and reaching audiences that do not usually participate in cultural heritage events, with a special emphasis on young people;
- fully utilizing the opportunities offered by digital transformation to make cultural heritage content, policies, initiatives, projects and news easily accessible to all.
