Heritage Care through Active Citizenship conference – 23/03/09
A bottom-up initiative
• 3 heritage NGOs in Flanders– Heemkunde Vlaanderen vzw– VCM-Contactforum voor Erfgoedverenigingen vzw– FARO. Vlaams steunpunt voor cultureel erfgoed
vzw
• Starting point = CoE declaration on the role of voluntary organizations in the field of cultural heritage (Portoroz, 2001)
Heritage Care through Active Citizenship conference – 23/03/09
First phase (2005-2006)
• ‘From Portoroz via Strasbourg and Brussels, towards the Heritage Organisations in Europe’
• Research project to consider the roles, responsibilities, needs and opportunities of (Flemish) heritage organizations in a European context
• Target group: Flemish heritage sector
Heritage Care through Active Citizenship conference – 23/03/09
Some conclusions• Fragmented information on heritage NGOs in
Europe– Former attempts to map the sector, but
• Not carried out completely• Exclusive focus on tangible heritage
• General lack of information about Europe, European funding possibilities, institutions…– Brochure ‘Afraid of Europe’
• Lack of clarity about the impact of EU legislation on heritage care– Report on Flemish heritage policy in the European
context
