Cultural heritage for sustainable development in cities and regions in Europe

The Policy Learning Platform organised a workshop on cultural heritage for sustainable development in cities and regions in Europe on 20 June 2018 in Berlin, Germany.

The workshop was part of the programme of the European Cultural Heritage Summit that took place from 18-24 June 2018 in Berlin with the motto “Sharing heritage – Sharing values”. Our event brought together Interreg Europe project partners and other relevant European networks and programmes to discuss the latest developments in the topic, and how Interreg Europe projects can contribute to regional efforts towards better protection, preservation and valorisation of cultural heritage.
