Vorige week heeft de Europese Commissie voorgesteld om in 2018 het Europese jaar van het Cultureel Erfgoed te organiseren.
Eurocommissaris Tibor Navracsics kondigde het voorstel aan: “I’m delighted to announce that the Commission is proposing to make 2018 the European year of cultural heritage. It will be an opportunity to promote knowledge and understanding about cultural heritage.”
Europa Nostra is zeer verheugd met het nieuws: “The day of 19 April 2016 shall be remembered as a historic day for our ever-growing European movement for cultural heritage! ”
Ook doet Europa Nostra;s Secretaris General Sneška Quaedvlieg-Mihailović de volgende oproep: “Therefore we now wish to reach out to each and every member of our wide European family, to listen carefully to your views, concerns, dreams and ideas, and to invite you to get actively engaged in the exciting process ahead of us. Let us have a regular and creative dialogue in the months to come which we shall gladly bring to the due attention of policy and decision makers in Europe and incorporate as much as possible in Europa Nostra’s 3-year strategic and action plan for 2017-2019 with the European Year of Cultural Heritage 2018 at its heart. ”
