We live in an unbelievably complicated world where a perceived sense of economic and political instability is creating social unrest and tension. It is in this situation of great uncertainty that efforts should be made to pass down to the new generations our cultural heritage, symbol of the uniqueness of every European nation but also living evidence of the ties that link each country to the others in order to remind them of our common roots.

Moreover since the promotion of our cultural heritage requires actions to transmit it from one generation to another, it is and will be an important resource  for economic growth and employment playing a role in revitalizing urban and/or rural areas and supporting sustainable development (SDGs 2030) as stated in the Policy Document for the Integration of a Sustainable Development Perspective into the Processes of the World Heritage Convention (UNESCO 2015).
