WeAre#EuropeForCulture (EYCH 2018 PROJECT)

The general objective of this project is to engage target groups of older and younger Europeans (aged 55+, and aged 13-30), who are hard to reach and do not already participate in cultural heritage activities, e.g. those living in isolation or poverty, not engaged in education, learning or employment.

The specific objectives are to:

1. encourage individuals in these target groups to share their own cultural heritage and get to know others', by participating in pop-up exhibitions, including by bringing personal items to display and helping with curation.
2. raise awareness of how much of our cultural heritage, history and values are shared, including among different generations, and how local heritage connects to European.
3. reinforce a sense of belonging to a common European space, and build a sense of community among potentially isolated people
4. contribute to the general objectives of the 2018 European Year: the discovery, appreciation and communication of the riches of Europe's cultural heritage.
