EUROPA NOSTRA AND PATRIMOINE SUISSE/SCHWEIZER HEIMATSCHUTZ SEEK STRONGER COOPERATION

oct 16

At the end of June, Europa Nostra's Secretary General, Sneska Quaedvlieg-Mihailovic, visited Switzerland, on the occasion of this year's General Assembly of Patrimoine Suisse/Schweizer Heitmatschutz, the leading Swiss heritage NGO.

She made a presentation on Europa Nostra's mission and activities to around 100 heritage activists from all over Switzerland who were gathered in Yvedons-les-Bains for their General Assembly. She also discussed ways in which Swiss heritage organisations can become more actively involved in the wider European heritage movement. She had talks with representatives of the Vaud section of Patrimoine Suisse (also a member organisation of Europa Nostra ) and of the Geneva section of this organisation.

Patrimoine suisse and its President, Philippe Bieler, who is also an active member of Europa Nostra's Council, confirmed their readiness to become a pro-active ambassador of Europa Nostra in Switzerland thus helping Europa Nostra to raise its profile in this country and to benefit fully from the input, creativity, energy and expertise of the Swiss heritage movement.
