GreenHeritage aims at developing a holistic, innovative and inclusive approach toward direct and indirect climate change impact on intangible cultural heritage, a topic which has received little or no attention at all. The project seeks innovative tools and methodologies able to promote adaptive and systemic approaches to better manage climate change. It also aspires to function as an urgent reminder that climate change is present, affecting both directly and indirectly all aspects of Europe’s cultural heritage.
The objectives of the GreenHeritage are the following:
- analysing the state of play at national and European levels regarding intangible cultural heritage and current climate change threats;
- exploring the key role that immaterial cultural heritage could have in sustainable and climate-resilient development and mapping existing adaptation practices across EU;
- developing a methodology, policy recommendations and a handbook for the management, preservation and protection of immaterial cultural heritage in the face of climate change implications;
- adding the preservation and protection of intangible cultural heritage at the heart of the public debate as well as the national & EU policy making;
- empowering awareness and active citizenship regarding environmental issues, sustainability and the importance of preserving tangible cultural heritage along with intangible cultural heritage;
- developing a culture of sustainability and innovation among researchers, practitioners and empowering them by providing a set of cutting-edge training resources building on skills intelligence, available in digital and open media;
- supporting the development and approach of micro-learning and digital based education by promoting effective use of digital learning practices and capabilities.
The main coordinator of the GreenHeritage project is the National Research Council (Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche) of Italy. The consortium of partners also includes other institutions from Italy (Centro Universitario Europeo per i Beni Culturali; Fondazione Centro Euro-Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici), as well as from Greece (Πανεπιστήμιο Αιγαίου; Εταιρεία Έρευνας, Εκπαίδευσης, Καινοτομίας και Ανάπτυξης της ΠΒΑ; Athens Lifelong Learning Institute; ReadLab), Spain (Fundación Santa María la Real del Patrimonio Histórico), Belgium (Candide International BV), and Latvia (ILFA, UL).
