EU launches new project to safeguard multicultural heritage in Ukraine

A new EU-funded heritage project – ‘ReHERIT 2:0. Common Responsibility for Shared Heritage’ – was officially launched on 14 March in Ukraine.

The initiative aims to foster the understanding of local multicultural heritage as a common asset that stimulates local cultural, and socio-economic development. 

As part of the project, two independent institutions – the Centre for Urban History and the Centre for Regional Development – will raise awareness about Ukrainian history and develop and apply effective management practices and sensitive promotion of local multicultural heritage. The project will focus on an educational programme and artistic intervention around the theme of multicultural heritage, the creation of digital collections of historical sources, and the development and piloting of approaches to multicultural heritage management in Rivne, Medzhibozh and Uman. 

The project will also run a grant programme to support development initiatives in communities that work with the theme of multicultural past.
