SEE Heritage Network became member of the “European Heritage Alliance 3.3”

The SEE Heritage Network became a member of the "European Heritage Alliance 3.3" which was launched in Amsterdam by more than 25 European and International networks and organisations active in the wider field of cultural heritage on the occasion of the European Heritage Congress 2011 organized by Europa Nostra in Amsterdam. The name of this newly created Alliance refers to the article 3.3. of the consolidated version of the Lisbon Treaty of the European Union which stipulates that "[The Union] shall respect its rich cultural and linguistic diversity, and shall ensure that Europe's cultural heritage is safeguarded and enhanced." The organisations and networks represented at the constitutive meeting of the Alliance intend to advocate together the necessity to develop a future EU strategy for cultural and natural heritage, in compliance with this article and will seek to develop stronger synergies between their respective activities with regard to European policy.
