Enjoy your heritage!

Visit local and European heritage sites, discover traditions, attend European Year of Cultural Heritage events and spread the word.

Post about it!

The year is being promoted on social media through diverse competitions and activities. During the launch event in Milan, over 400 000 people were reached through the Creative Europe and European Youth Facebook pages. Tweets published during the Milan event generated nearly 500 000 impressions and 3000 likes! A #EuropeForCulture photo competition was also launched on Instagram. Running until 15 January, the contest aimed to encourage people living in one of the Creative Europe countries to capture Europe’s traditions in the festive season. Five lucky winners got vouchers for cultural events.

Follow all the discussions and activities using #EuropeForCulture.
