Values

The Values of Europa Nostra

Cultural heritage is essential for a prosperous, unified and stable Europe;

Cultural Heritage should be respected in urban and rural development;

Culture heritage is not a relic of the past; it is a relevant, useful and accessible part of today and tomorrow;

Cultural Heritage is complex and multi-layered and therefore does not belong to one cultural group or nation, but instead belongs to all Europeans

Cultural Heritage is on loan from future generations and good stewardship in the present is therefore the responsibility of everyone living in Europe.
