22-23.09.2018 European Heritage Days 2018

On 22nd and 23rd September 2018 patrimonial walks were held in Italy, in particular in Venice, on the occasion of the European Heritage Days.

The patrimonial walks are an initiative promoted since 1991 by the Council of Europe and the European Union, to enhance and encourage exchange and dialogue in the cultural sphere.For a whole weekend in September it is possible to free all citizens of the cultural heritage of the 50 member countries of the European Heritage Convention, encouraging them to participate actively in its safeguard and transmission to the new generations. Every year a different theme is chosen, which may concern specific aspects of heritage, defined historical periods or the relationship between society and heritage.This year's edition is dedicated to the theme entitled "European Year of Cultural Heritage: the art of sharing", which attempts to build and create ever closer and more significant links between the places of culture and their territories, the communities and the people that they represent. Starting from the territory, there is a wide reflection that investigates the traces of the common past, the shared traditions, exchanges and contaminations, stories of personalities or communities that in the past have inhabited the places, stories and visions of who sees the territory from the outside or with different eyes.

Not just a guided tour, the heritage promenade promotes the interaction of citizens with their cultural heritageIt is conceived and realized by those who live and work in the area to which they have developed a sense of belonging. The participants are led by witnesses, that is, people who live in places or attend them for work and who, therefore, include in their explanations an emotional component that is unique. In this way the visitor rediscovers through his walk his city observing it from another perspective.

2018 is the European year of cultural heritage. The aim of the European Year of Cultural Heritage is to encourage as many people as possible to discover and get involved in the cultural heritage of Europe and to strengthen the sense of belonging to a common European area. From January to December there will be a series of initiatives and events throughout Europe to allow citizens to get closer and learn more about their cultural heritage.The cultural heritage shapes our identity and our daily life, it surrounds us in the cities and villages of Europe, when we are immersed in natural landscapes or we find ourselves in archaeological sites. It is not only literature, art and objects, but also the craftsmanship learned from our ancestors, the stories we tell our children, the food we enjoy in company and the films we watch to recognize ourselves.

Patrimonial walks, this year as many as 57, are offered by many associations and Italian institutions, particularly Venetian and Veneto, with the coordination of Ufficio di Venezia del Consiglio d’Europa, only headquarters in Italy in collaboration with  Europe Direct del Comune di Venezia.

The walks, different from the well-known guided tours, promote the interaction of citizens with cultural heritage. Through the experiences of the inhabitants the extraordinary riches of our territories are revealed: from industrial archeology to the architecture of the last centuries, from the lagoon to the rivers. To view the complete programs and subscribe to the patrimonial walks you can consult the website of  Ministero dei Beni e delle Attività Culturali  and the website of Ufficio di Venezia del Consiglio d’Europa.
