Join us on Europe Day 2020 for a very special webinar to mark the 70th anniversary of the Schuman Declaration, as we look at how cultural heritage can be a powerful catalyst for the future of Europe.

For the first time since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, high representatives of EU Institutions will engage in open conversation with representatives of Europe’s cultural heritage world. They will come together to discuss the major role the cultural heritage sector should play in the unprecedented plans that EU Institutions and Member States are preparing for the recovery and transformation of Europe’s society and economy.
