Accelerating Untapped Potential of our Shared Heritage Eu/Western Balkans Integration - Athens Hub
Exhibition Hall | European Cultural Centre of Delphi
At the moment when we are witnessing a welcome acceleration of the EU enlargement agenda, this panel will demonstrate that our shared cultural heritage provides a still untapped potential for building the much needed bridges between the citizens and institutions of the EU Member States and the candidate states from the Western Balkans. Special focus will be given to the vital role of cities and civil society organisations to mobilise citizens and their communities to engage in the safeguard of our shared values and cultural heritage, not only in their own cities and regions but also across borders, in collaboration with neighbouring countries.
