European Heritage Alliance 3.3


The European Heritage Alliance 3.3, an informal European sectoral platform composed of 30 European or international networks and organisations active in the wider field of cultural heritage, was launched in June 2011 on the occasion of the European Heritage Congress 2011 organised by Europa Nostra in Amsterdam.
On this occasion, Europe's major heritage networks agreed to work more closely together to promote the untapped potential of Europe's heritage, cultural and natural, immovable and movable. The Alliance founding members bring together Europe's civil society organisations, historic cities and villages, museums, heritage professionals and volunteers, owners of collections of artefacts, historic buildings and cultural landscapes, educators, town planners, etc. The "European Heritage Alliance 3.3" thus represents a very large constituency composed of tens of millions of Europe's citizens. Europa Nostra is acting as facilitator of the alliance.
The name of this Alliance refers to the article 3.3. of the consolidated version of the Lisbon Treaty of the European Union which stipulates that " shall respect its rich cultural and linguistic diversity, and shall ensure that Europe's cultural heritage is safeguarded and enhanced."
It contributed to the preparation of the European Commission Communication "Towards an integrated approach to cultural heritage for Europe" published in July 2014.
