The European Heritage Days are events that bring European citizens together to celebrate, share and support the work being undertaken by communities in Europe. Their pan-European nature helps highlight cultural heritage’s European dimension and value. The call for the 2023 European Heritage Days Stories, organised by the European Commission and the Council of Europe, was launched on 17 January. 

The Call for European Heritage Days Stories intends to identify the European Dimension of heritage sites and heritage work undertaken by the communities in Europe. It refers to past or existing stories that communities would like to share and potentially develop into a project to further contribute to their communities.

The Call for European Stories was launched as an activity of the European Year of Cultural Heritage 2018, the successes of which it now aims to build on, and supporting the European Framework for Action on Cultural Heritage, adopted in December 2018 to secure the long term impact of the European Year of Cultural Heritage. In the framework of the joint vision of shared European values, the Call is also open to the EU Prize for Cultural Heritage/Europa Nostra Award winners and the European Heritage Label sites.
