YouthInHerit


Cultural heritage binds Europe together through our common history and values. It also represents the richness and diversity of our cultural traditions. Our shared cultural heritage is to be understood, cherished and celebrated. Yet cultural heritage is not only a legacy from the past. It also helps us forge the way ahead and design our future.
5 European Youth organizations aim to create a sharing and reflecting space for 30 youngsters about European cultural heritage and to encourage them to promote it through backpack journalism and digital tools. Journalism is a way of discovering realities and traditions of a country or a community, enabling the dialogue between different generations.
