The mission of the SEE Heritage network is to work towards protecting and promoting the common cultural heritage with the aim of encouraging sustainable development of the region.
The vision of the SEE Heritage network: South East Europe (SEE) - region where people cooperate, understand and respect each other on the basis of their cultural differences, believing that cultural, ethnic and religious diversity is a valuable resource.
Our strategic goals include:
- Strengthening the regional network of NGOs
- Improving the general management of cultural heritage throughout South East Europe
- Having a greater influence on decision makers
- Improving outreach to the general public
- Promoting the NGO sector’s work throughout the region
- Increasing general awareness of the heritage of South East Europe
- Generating joint projects and activities through the Network.
Alongside its regular annual meetings, the SEE Heritage Network organized a public debate entitled “Cultural Heritage and its Misuse in Political, Ideological and other Causes”, a workshop and public presentation “Devastation of Cultural Heritage”, and two conferences: “Cultural Heritage Tourism and Sustainable Development” and “Cultural Landscapes: The Implementation of the European Landscape Convention in South East Europe and the Role of NGOs”.
The Network published a booklet entitled “Cultural Heritage and its Misuse in Political and Ideological Causes” and launched a public appeal urging local and national governments of the SEE Heritage region to stop the indifference towards the devastation of SEE heritage.
Recently, the Network prepared a second public appeal, urging governments of the region to adopt and implement the European Landscape Convention.
The website www.seeheritage.org is one of the most important concrete results of SEE Heritage’s work. SEE Heritage aims to make this website an important portal for the cultural heritage of the SEE region.
