The event is held in cooperation with the Ministry of Culture and Media and the Agency for Mobility and EU Programmes.
European cultural heritage is a rich and diverse mosaic of cultural and creative expressions, the legacy of previous generations of Europeans and the legacy of those yet to come. It unites the natural, built and archaeological sites, museums, monuments, works of art, historical cities, literary, musical and audio-visual works and the knowledge, practice and tradition of European citizens. Although the primary responsibility in the area of cultural heritage have the member states, regional and local authorities, the European Union advocates for its conservation through number of relevant politics and programmes created with that goal. In the Multiannual Financial Framework for the period 2021-2027, the cultural heritage is put in the focus and, more and more Union programmes are involved in supporting and building of capacities of the sector in order to adapt as more as possible to new creative processes, business models, market development and in ultimately accepted the digital and green transition.
