To highlight the importance and diversity of European culture, the Parliament will hold a conference on 26 June called 'Cultural heritage in Europe: linking past and future'.

An estimated 300,000 people work directly in the EU’s cultural sector and it is indirectly responsible for up to 7.8 million jobs. The Parliament conference aims to increase awareness of the social and economic importance of culture and heritage.

The conference takes place against the backdrop of the European Year of Cultural Heritage 2018. To mark the year thousands of activities are taking place across Europe to involve people more closely with cultural heritage at local, regional, national and European levels.

The conference, organized at the initiative of Parliament President Antonio Tajani and in close co-operation with the culture committee, chaired by Petra Kammerevert, will bring together political leaders, policy makers and stakeholders, as well as some very well-known guests to debate the challenges of the sector in three panels:

  • Cultural heritage and Europeanness
  • Preserving and promoting cultural heritage
  • Innovation and the economic potential of cultural heritage

Panels will include artists from different fields and stakeholders delivering testimonies. There will be two live music performances and an exhibition on video games.

Sign up now to take part. The registration is open until 20 June.
