Monday 8th to Thursday 10th July 2024
Organised in partnership with the City of Glasgow, this European Heritage Hub programme offers a unique opportunity to share good practices and acquire skills for addressing environmental, digital, and social challenges related to cultural heritage in local contexts.
The visit is part of the European Heritage Hub’s Open Call for Local Good Practices, launched in November 2023. Glasgow was among the 10 selected practices, having presented its ‘Pollok Stables and Sawmill Refurbishment’ project, showcasing exemplary local solutions in the field of cultural heritage that contribute to the green, digital, and social transformation of our society.
The main location for the visit will be the Pollok Country Park, home to two major inclusive cultural heritage development projects: the Pollok Country Park Stables & Sawmill and the Burrell Renaissance Project.
Who can apply & what’s in it for me?
If you work in cultural heritage for a local, regional, or national administration, civil society organisation, cultural initiative, or project across Europe – then this opportunity is made for you.
The group of 20 selected participants will be composed of representatives from European cities and regions, but is also open to a limited number of cultural heritage stakeholders. A peer-learning visit is an opportunity for local decision-makers and stakeholders to spend time in another city and see first-hand relevant local solutions that can be inspiring for other regions and initiatives. It is a chance for meaningful exchanges among peers already active in cultural heritage as well as for those eager to transform their heritage projects and policies into more sustainable, innovative, and inclusive ones.
Format & covered costs
The visit will last 2.5 days and 2 nights and will combine meetings with local policymakers and stakeholders, site visits, and facilitated solution-building workshops. The working language will be English.
The European Heritage Hub will cover travel and accommodation costs (2 nights) for participants as well as meals during the stay. The hotel booking will be taken care of by the organisers, however, the participants will book their individual travels to and from the destination – for which they will be reimbursed.
