CHARTER’s Proposals for a Future-proof Heritage Sector

On 19th June 2024, CHARTER Alliance partnered with Erasmus University Rotterdam and the Dutch Heritage Agency to host the CHARTER’s Open Day in the Netherlands, under the theme: “CHARTER’s Proposals for a Future-proof Heritage Sector”.

Being in its final year, the partners presented their preliminary findings and recommendations to the public and entered a dialogue on what is needed for a future proof heritage sector. In the morning, during two plenary sessions,the attention was focused on two contemporary challenges that the sector faces. First, climate change and the future of heritage, and second a future-proof perspective on vocational training and education.

In the afternoon participatory workshops, led by experts, gave room to a more in-depth discussion to delve on some specific themes: How to attract and maintain a diverse workforce in cultural heritage? How to incorporate embodied knowledge in education programs? How to prepare cultural heritage for the risks of climate change? How to recognize informal skills? Participatory governance: reality or utopia? Can we assess the social and economic impacts of heritage?
