Inclusive European Heritage Residency 2026 in Malta
The second edition of the Inclusive European Heritage Residencies takes place from 13 to 19 September in Malta. It is organised by Europa Nostra, the leading European heritage civil society network, INTO and Din L-Art Helwa, Grand Prix winner of the European Heritage Awards / Europa Nostra Awards 2026.
A group of 10 heritage professionals were selected to come together in Malta to exchange best practices, discuss key challenges and explore strategies for building strong and resilient heritage organisations.
The Residency’s programme offers a rich mix of case studies, practical sessions, site visits and peer learnings. Din l-Art Ħelwa, a non-governmental and non-profit voluntary organisation founded in 1965 to safeguard Malta’s cultural and natural heritage, is featured as the key case study.
The peer-learning methodology of the programme is designed to stimulate interaction, collaborative learning and solution-building in a cooperative and friendly expert environment. Participants will present their own experiences of working in heritage.
The Inclusive European Heritage Residencies 2026 is organised in the framework of the network project Europa Nostra Heritage Agora, co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union.
