CulturalBase. First Workshop
Barcelona, 30 September – 2 October 2015
Barcelona hosted the first workshop planned within CulturalBase. This project, funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 649454, aims to address the topic of Cultural Heritage and European Identities from a double standpoint, namely, an analytical as well as a public policy perspective.
The goal of this first workshop was to establish a solid and shared basis for discussion and future work on the part of all involved stakeholders. Particularly, it aimed to achieve two objectives in an atmosphere of mutual learning and participation:
- To identify and select the main issues to be further studied and discussed within each axis.
- To evaluate the practical connections between those issues and their relative importance with regards to the wider fields included in Cultural Base.
Experts from several European academic institutions and civil society organisations have participated in the workshop.
The results of the workshop will soon be made public on this website
