On June 20th, the REliHE project partner the Province of Overijssel hosted an impactful meeting in Overijssel, bringing together key stakeholders to discuss the preservation and reuse of religious heritage. The session included representatives from the Cultural Heritage Agency of the Netherlands, Het Oversticht, the Cultural Heritage Support Centre of Overijssel, an external advisor, and the Heritage Academy of the Netherlands. This diverse group brought a wealth of knowledge and perspectives to the table, ensuring a comprehensive discussion on the future of religious heritage in the region.

Collaborative Brainstorming Session

During this 5-hour meeting, participants engaged in an intensive brainstorming session to develop workshop ideas for a major symposium scheduled for later this year in Zwolle. The session was an excellent opportunity for knowledge exchange, fostering a collaborative environment where innovative ideas could flourish. The external advisor played a key role by sharing valuable research results on reusing religious heritage, providing insights that will inform future initiatives and projects.
