They are the voice of all who believe that cultural heritage is vital for their economy, their society, their culture, their environment, their well-being and for the future of Europe.

As Europeans – people who have lived here for generations as well as people who have newly arrived – They have to take full responsibility for transmitting this heritage in good shape to future generations.

Europa Nostra acts as advocates of heritage towards policy-makers at all levels of governance, campaign to save threatened heritage sites through the 7 Most Endangered programme, and promotes excellence through the European Heritage Awards / Europa Nostra Awards.
