EU Heritage Youth Residencies Call 2023

Around 15 young people will be selected to come together to discuss the role of the heritage community in the urban regeneration process. The Residency in Naples will investigate innovative models of governance and management that are based on collaboration, cooperation and the active involvement of communities, and which encourage the implementation of strategies for promoting innovative forms of social cohesion and spatial regeneration in urban contexts.

The European Heritage Youth Residencies programme is an opportunity for students, professionals and heritage stakeholders to see first-hand how to successfully implement policies and projects. The aim of the programme is also to seek new formats of cross-sectoral cooperation, to initiate projects of co-creation or collaborative plans, as well as to share knowledge and expertise across Europe to support heritage communities working together in line with the principles of the Faro Convention.
