EUROPEAN HERITAGE DAYS 2024 IN CROATIA
The heritage that connects - cultural routes and networks!.
This year's European Heritage Day event with its central theme “The heritage that connects - cultural routes and networks!” is celebrated in 66 location across Croatia with more than 130 events, organised by 140 institutions such as museums, libraries, archives, associations in the field of culture and cultural heritage, cultural and artistic societies, institutes, faculties, primary and secondary schools, tourist boards and others. The rich programme of this year's event offers the general public the opportunity to learn about cultural routes, regional and local networks, paths and cooperation, as well as the diverse cultural heritage that connects us. It also emphasizes the importance of shared values, history and cultural heritage that permanently connects and networks individuals and communities of European nations.
One of the characteristics of cultural routes is the permeation of knowledge, traditions and skills and their impact on cultural heritage, and the Cultural Routes of the Council of Europe programme was launched in 1987 in order to identify and connect related elements of European and national heritage and to contribute to a better understanding of European and national cultural identity. The Republic of Croatia joined the Extended Partial Agreement on the Cultural Routes of the Council of Europe in 2016, since 21 routes have passed through our country.
The presentation of cultural goods, knowledge, skills and customs and the recognition of common traditions, histories and heritage of communities and individuals contribute to the overall cultural heritage and raise awareness of the importance of its preservation.
The importance of raising awareness about the preservation of cultural heritage and the professionally demanding renovation process is evidenced by the exhibition Fragments of renovation of the Sisak-Moslavina County heritage after the 2020 earthquake. Exhibition will take place in Petrinja on October 1st in 2024, in the Munjara City building that was damaged in the devastating earthquake in 2020 and was successfully renovated in the past period. The exhibition will present a set of knowledge and experiences used in crisis situations for cultural heritage with the aim of its successful restoration and long-term preservation.
