​

More than ever, we want to exchange knowledge and good practice around our European cultural heritage, articulate the values and ideas that go with it and, in particular, foster links and co-operation with other European heritage bodies in civil society and beyond. We find ourselves, uniquely, a bridge to Europe with heritage as the signpost and, while we may not be as close to EU policy as before, we think there is a role for us in maintaining existing relationships and fostering new relationships. We are keen to encourage UK organisations to enter their projects for the European Heritage / Europa Nostra Awards and to share best practice from previous winners. And, ass the UK leaves the EU, we will also be looking for ways to continue connecting UK initiatives with work across Europe, such as informing responses to the climate change crisis as in the European Green Deal.

​

The aims of EN UK are:

• to nurture enthusiasm for our shared European cultural heritage

• to articulate the values and ideas that connect us to our colleagues in Europe

• to raise the profile of EN UK in order to support Europa Nostra’s Europe-wide representation

• to foster links and co-operation with other European heritage bodies in civil society and beyond

• to sustain UK participation in shaping European heritage policy and vice versa
