This book sets out the lessons learned from the unique approach to community development adopted by the Living Heritage programme between 2001 and 2005 in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Macedonia and Romania. Through support to some 140 local projects in those countries, Living Heritage was able to nurture innovative practices in strengthening communities in remote rural areas through a creative use of cultural resources. It also empowered a large number of project teams, community facilitators and organisations through hands-on experience and technical assistance.

The various topics addressed in these articles should provide valuable insights into the present and future use of the principles embedded
in the Faro Convention when dealing with issues that go beyond the mere conservation of cultural heritage. If there is one domain that can illustrate how the past can shape the future, cultural heritage is surely the best example, as preserving it illustrates the neces- sary recognition of previous generations’ action while valuing it reflects the need to give greater meaning for present and future generations.

Novi Sad is a geographical, administrative and economic centre of Vojvodina, northern province of the Republic of Serbia. In both distant and recent past, the geographical position has always been crucial for the history of Vojvodina and Novi Sad.

Cultural strategy Luxembourg French
Esch-sur-Alzette est, depuis longtemps, un lieu de culture(s). Mais, à une période décisive de mutations pour l’Europe, le Luxembourg et pour Esch, la nécessité s’est imposée, de proposer un Plan communal à la culture, définissant une stratégie pour les 10 ans à venir.
Cette stratégie s’appelle [Connexions], parce que, comme on le verra, elle vise à établir ou renforcer les liens entre les acteurs du milieu culturel, entre la culture et les autres domaines d’action de la Ville, entre les différents quartiers d’Esch, entre Esch et la région, entre le passé, le présent et le futur, mais aussi entre les domaines prioritaires d’action retenus. Cette stratégie repose aussi en partie sur les technologies numériques, capables de permettre ou de faciliter ces connexions.

There are major challenges and opportunities ahead for the city. These challenges will be addressed and the opportunities maximised through genuine public consultation and multi-agency collaborations.
