About the project

Codes of Cultural Heritage project, 2022-1-RO01-KA220-SCH000085067, stems from the assumption that European Cultural Heritage represents an enormous potential for the construction of European citizenship as a concept which is based on the value of cultural diversity and allows individuals to build and shape their own identities at different levels, including local, national and European dimension. Cultural Hubs of each participating country will be digitally and some of them in close venues will physically have a significant part in the Project.

The Workpackages:

WP 1: Project Management

The purposes of the project:

To promote the social and educational value of cultural heritage and its contribution to social inclusion and the construction of European citizenship based on the value of cultural diversity as the legacy of local identities and ancient migrations.
