Strategy 21, Council of Europe
The Council of Europe, in partnership with the French Ministry of Culture, has published the book European Heritage Strategy for the 21st Century - the Golden Collection of Good Practices in the framework of the French Presidency of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe.
The publication presents a representative selection of 32 examples of good practice in the field of cultural heritage from the Council of Europe member states, implementing the principles of the Faro Convention and its Strategy 21.
Introducing
Strategy 21 puts the spotlight on integrated heritage management: its "recommendations" present different ways to meet the challenges of a multidisciplinary, collaborative and ambitious approach to each of its three components: "society", "spatial and economic development", and "knowledge and education". Strategy 21 also provides a substantive starting point for the Slovenian Cultural Heritage Strategy, which is in the final stages of preparation.
The publication presents a selection of more than 100 good practices published on the website 21 Strategies.
Two projects from Slovenia were selected for the gold award:
- Debela Griža as an example of good practice in implementing the recommendation of Strategy 21 by taking heritage into account in sustainable tourism development policies (D7).
- Re-use of rural buildings in Slovenia under the rural development programme - as an example of good practice in promoting the re-use of heritage and traditional knowledge and practices.
