City representatives and heritage professionals are invited to apply for the European Heritage Hub’s upcoming peer-learning visit to Nantes (France), which will take place from 6 to 8 November 2024. Organised in partnership with the City of Nantes, this programme offers a unique opportunity to share good practices and acquire skills for addressing environmental, digital, and social challenges related to cultural heritage in local contexts.

The visit is part of the Hub’s Open Call for Local Good Practices, launched in November 2023, recognising exemplary local solutions in cultural heritage that contribute to our society's green, digital, and social transformation. Nantes was among the ten selected practices, having presented its project “Nantes Cultural Heritage 2.0 — Digital portal developed with citizens for discovery of the city’s heritage“, which will be the main focus of the visit. Furthermore, the visit will focus on the municipal cultural heritage policies, urban renewal projects related to the city’s industrial heritage, as well initiatives related to remembrance and inclusive storytelling.

The application period ends on 6 September 2024, before midnight CET and is open to participants from across Europe, including Ukraine, Moldova, the Western Balkans (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia) and the Caucasus (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia).
