European Year of kultūras mantojuma

2018 is declared a European Year of Cultural Heritage (ECMG). EKMG is intended to encourage a wider range of people to discover and explore the cultural heritage of Europe and to strengthen the feeling that we belong to a common European space. This year's motto is “our heritage — past and future.”
Throughout the year, numerous events across Europe will be devoted to encouraging the cultural heritage of Europe to share and evaluate it as a shared resource to improve understanding of shared history and wealth so that people are better able to feel belonging to Europe and that the cultural heritage of Europe is better protected, sacrificed, used, understood and promoted.
