First of all, thank you for sharing these two beautiful videos!
I do believe that cultural heritage is what makes us who we are. It could be a mix I suppose, if your parents are from two different countries or even region within a same country. To me, it can include food (the main bit for me! :D), religion, but also definitely the way we live and the way we perceive art and music. It is all those little things that makes our cultural heritage.

To know thyself

2018-04-30 12:17:25 UTC

I believe that in order to know where you're heading you should know where you are coming from. I believe that in order to appreciate other cultures first you have to know and appreciate yours. And by culture I include all the stories that I was told, all the food I had the opportunity to taste and all the customs I have witnessed.

Wonderful video! I really believe in Europe. I think cultural heritage is a mix of past and present looking at the future; art, music, food, literature, language, religion...these things made us what we are and we have to share them.

Cultural heritage is a complex system, often based on values and emotions rather than objects.
The digital heritage is inherently unlimited by time, geography, culture or format. It is culture-specific, but potentially accessible to every person in the world. Minorities may speak to majorities, the individual to a global audience.

The digital heritage of all regions, countries and communities should be preserved and made accessible, so as to assure over time representation of all peoples, nations, cultures and languages.

Kültür mirasın ne kadar uçsuz bucaksız ve aktarılabilir olduğunu farketmek muhteşemdi. Geniş bir yelpazede bir o kadar geniş bilgi veri elde edilip anında geniş kitlelere aktarılabilecek. Bu tüm insanlar için tüm kültürler için müthiş ir olanak

It is the texture of our sense of identity and our belief system. It determines our values and ideas. And our future.

As an Art teacher I beleive we can preserve our cultural heritage by sharing our passion, providing experiences which help our pupils to be sensitive to colors, shapes and harmony coming from countries where they have not been to yet to encourage their curiosity.

The heritage consists of culture, values and traditions. Cultural heritage implies our belonging to a community. It represents our history and our identity. It includes all evidence of human creativity, so it’s transmitted from generation to generation.

The cultural heritage favours social cohesion and is a source of identity and consolidation of communities. I think that the school should involve in activities to promote knowledge, preservation, and valorization of the the cultural heritage.

Cinzia, Italia

2018-04-30 13:09:04 UTC

Culture can give people a connection to certain social values, beliefs, religions, customs. It allows them to identify with others of similar mindsets and backgrounds. Cultural heritage can provide an automatic sense of unity and belonging within a group and allows us to better understand previous generations and the history of where we come from.The process of finding and incorporating culture into our lives begins with understanding the culture. Only then may we begin to value it. From there, we can learn to care and to preserve for a culture and eventually enjoy it.

Sanja, Croatia

sanja_janes501 — 2018-04-30 13:27:18 UTC

The one way of preserving cultural heritage is to teach young people about their own heritage, the history of that heritage. Also to respect other people heritage and to learn other peoples heritage. In such way of learning young people will find connections and symilarities between different cultural heritages and awarenes of preservation.

Antonella, Modena

abattilani — 2018-04-30 13:35:35 UTC

Beauty, art and culture can save the world. We are our cultural heritage, and we can build an open-minded community through knowledge, creativity, emotions and new narrative of the past. Nowadays we need to find new ways of make visible what is now almost invisible because of a general lack of concern. The school has to be the very centre in building the future.

Ercan, Adana(Turkey)

ercanbirbiri — 2018-04-30 13:41:34 UTC

Sharing culture,ideas,values can bring people together. We all live under the same sky, we have the power to build an open minded comunity to share good things.

psaridou — 2018-04-30 13:42:32 UTC

Cultural Heritage for me is the fundamental activities we share in order to understand the past and see our future. Preservation of cultural Heritage can be really difficult since too many aspects are involved.

Latife Çeri,Turkey

2018-04-30 13:45:41 UTC

I think we must preseve our today and past history,art,music,.. in order to share with next generations.

There is no one best way to preserve cultural heritage. In my profession I feel lucky that I can help students create and reflect on the different aspects of their cultural backgrounds and, importantly, discuss intersections and similarities that, though many of us have different experiences of cultural heritage, bring us together.

Cultural heritage is important in perserving European identity as a whole and for each and every nation that makes the European community. Being a teacher of Latin and ancient Greek I strongly believe that the roots of your culture can teach us about us in the past, today and can show us the way for the future. It can also humble us in realizing that not much has changed and yet everything seems different and diverse. Keeping in touch with our heritage is the best way to perserve it. Introducing our young students to heritage of our nation and other cultures as well will be the best way to educate them.

Giovanna,Italy

2018-04-30 14:19:35 UTC

Culture heritage is all that is part of our history that we should always take with u. It represents the foundations for the future. It must be trasmitted for the validity it retains over the years.

Elisabetta, Italy

Cultural heritage is very important for our identity in Europe. We need to share our traditions with the other people. We have to comunicate our experiences to grow together

Ivana, Croatia

2018-04-30 14:26:37 UTC

Cultural heritage makes us what are. We must teach new genereations about its importance for the present and for the future because without it we don't exist. We should preserve and take care of our own national cultural heritage to rrespect the European cultural heritage, to mark our place in Europe and in the whole world.

Dumitra Ducan, Romania

zdd_myx — 2018-04-30 14:27:47 UTC

Cultural heritage represents our history and our identity; our bond to the past, to our present, and the future. It is not only limited to material objects that we can see and touch. It also consists of immaterial elements: traditions, oral history, performing arts, social practices, traditional craftsmanship, representations, rituals, knowledge and skills transmitted from generation to generation within a community. It’s important to respect and safeguard all cultural heritage, through national laws and international treaties. Illicit trafficking of artifacts and cultural objects, pillaging of archaeological sites, and destruction of historical buildings and monuments cause irreparable damage to the cultural heritage of a country.

Andrada,Romania

2018-04-30 14:31:56 UTC

Cultural heritage is what makes us different among other cultures but also what connects us to the European civilization. Preserving it is firstly, knowing it, then, respecting it and sharing it. How? Education is the key

Ivana, Croatia

2018-04-30 14:32:56 UTC

Culture in its tanbible and intangible ways and its heritage makes us who we are. We should interpret it, think, and preserve it to teach young people, to be aware of our present and to make our future. We should first respect and be aware of our national cultural heritage to understand and find our place withing Europe as a whole and then within the world.

Palma

palmagarciahn — 2018-04-30 14:33:46 UTC

It is the inheritance that we have received from our grandparents in the form of stories, songs, food recipes, which we have received from our ancestors in the form of sculptures, pictures,books,,,.It is all that make us be as we are

Claudia, Italy 1.1

claudietta_ciucci — 2018-04-30 14:34:19 UTC

Cultural heritage can be preserved through the study of history, its origins, traditions, respecting artistic heritage and natural heritage.

Nektarios, Greece

nektariosf — 2018-04-30 14:40:52 UTC

In my opinion, cultural heritage implies a shared bond, our belonging to a community. It represents our history and our identity; our bond to the past, to our present, and the future.

Eva,Spain

evamaland — 2018-04-30 14:43:51 UTC

I think it is very important to know about our cultural heritage because if we don’t know where we come from we can’t go to the future in a proper way.
I also think my students should know about that

Theoni Dimopoulou, Greece

tetedimo — 2018-04-30 14:46:54 UTC

Cultural heritage is what gives us a unique identity quite separate from others but at the same time what unifies us. Education can teach us to respect, preserve and share what connects us to the past and to the future.

Vassiliki Boltsi, Greece

phoebe1_gallika — 2018-04-30 14:52:19 UTC

Cultural heritage is something that we carry on as entities...Either through education, either through cultural celebrations and events!

Lara, Italy

2018-04-30 14:52:58 UTC

Cultural heritage is whatever makes a community get together on a common ground, bound by a common past, tradition, sense of beauty. It is something that people feel the urge to pass on to the generations to come and to visitors as a way to keep the community alive. Due to all this, I feel that cultural heritage will be self-preserving inasmuch as communities and communications within communities are preserved.

Carla Sousa, Portugal

carla_carlageral — 2018-04-30 14:54:03 UTC

One of the best ways is with a daily changing atitude, as consumers, buying local products, visiting exibitions in your town, preserving nature, educating our children to give value to our traditions.

Diana , Romania Cultural Heritage

2018-04-30 14:54:28 UTC

For me, it means the values and traditions we inherited. It represents our history and thus, our present identity. It must be preserved by learning and embracing it, and of course by teaching it.

Peris C, Greece

2018-04-30 15:00:14 UTC

Cultural heritage (National and European) can be preserved through empathy. Either if we speak about monuments, archeological places, natural regions, customs etc. we have to not just visit/ study/ research but to be part... Various educational cultural projects take place each year but we see no respect in monuments or buildings that are characterized national/ european heritage. That means that the goals of such projects are not fulfilled or the students do not take culture too seriously. We need to reorganize the aspect of doing cultural educational projects. Another way to preserve cultural heritage is the digital preservation.

Lucilla, Italy

illac6303 — 2018-04-30 15:02:07 UTC

The first step to preserving cultural heritage is to share it with the greatest number of people

Busra Yesil, Turkey

lbusrayesil — 2018-04-30 15:07:24 UTC

To preserve any cultural heritage, we should respect them first. If we try to innovate every detail, it is hard to protect them. If we learn and participate in traditions, this makes them live. The best way is to pass them on to our future generations, to the children. Books, drawings, festivals and competitions help to know and preserve them in the future. We can share our culture's art and technology too.

Ana-Maria Ene, Romania

dinka_ana — 2018-04-30 15:09:51 UTC

Cultural heritage is important for every person, because it means traditions, values, food, people... it means a lot and we can find ourselves or discover ourselves in them. I think the cultural heritage is in vereyone of us.

Antonio, Italy

2018-04-30 15:11:20 UTC

It's something that belongs to us ... like our memories ... like our affections .... like our dreams ....
So in the same way, with the same loving care and a bit of jealousy must be guarded ... with the careful eye of those who love you and who distractedly watch over you without denying yourself to the eyes of those who want to look at you or your hands that, respectfully, they want to touch you ...

Daria Radu, Romania

2018-04-30 15:13:08 UTC

Cultural heritage defines a good part in each of us as individuals, nations, and it can be best preserved by respecting all around us and trying to make ourselves part of the cultural heritage.

Josefa Martín, Spain

fefimg — 2018-04-30 15:18:54 UTC

It can be best preserved by taking action at different levels:
- Schools: introducing the concept and working on it through projects to make new generations more aware of its importance.
-Government/political: by establishing protecting lawa and endowing them with finantial support
-Personal/familiar: by encouraging our friends and families o love, learn about and respect all the cultural expresions whether they be natural, tangible, intangible or digital

Cultural heritage includes all the different goods, values, beliefs, customs that make us unique and define and identify us.
It can be preserved in many different ways: by creating museums to preserve works of art, by means of oral tradition, using digital media, etc.

Raffaella L, Italy

lanzaniraffaella — 2018-04-30 15:32:10 UTC

Cultural heritage is something that we are made of, for example our customs, languages, traditions, works of art. It has its roots in our past, history and ancestors, but can be shared and it needs to be deeply understood

Elena Vladescu, Romania

2018-04-30 15:32:13 UTC

Cultural heritage can be best preserved by passing our children our values and our traditions and by cherishing our culture and identity.

Rohita, India

2018-04-30 15:35:33 UTC

Cultural heritage is discovering, identifying and maintaining our past in various forms. It is our history- our past connecting us to our present and our future. We need to spread awareness about our culture. the rules laid down should be strict against those who intentionally cause damage to the heritage property. We should also start with adopt our cultural heritage- tangible or non tangible and spread its awareness. we should also contribute towards planning and maintenance and forsee the risk it might face.

Katarzyna, Poland

kasiw — 2018-04-30 15:52:22 UTC

Cultural Heritage is US - it's our past and present as well as all the plans for the future. It's basically everything - the way we live, our customs and traditions, the things we created in the past, and the ones we work on at present, the things that make us different from people in other countries as well as the ones that we share. How to preserve cultural heritage in the best possible way? First of all, by NOT destroying it. Another aspect is education and teaching how to respect it.

Emma Giurlani Italy

emmauffa1 — 2018-04-30 15:57:19 UTC

the conservation and protection of the world’s inheritance means to me to preserve the soul of the entire humanity .To this end I think that digital heritage can play a crucial role .For this reason I completely agree with the "charter on preservation of digital heritage" saying that “its preservation for the benefit of present and future generations is an urgent issue of worldwide concern” Moreover I think that cultural heritage involves the whole humankind and that every single individual characteristic as “unique resources of human knowledge and expression”(ib) represents a shade of the “big picture” which is worth to be preserved, made accessible and shared as “ heritage of all regions, countries and communities” (ib.) Cultural heritage means not only to be part of the memory of the world , moreover it means to recognize that each single piece of this "picture" form and constitute an integral part of its soul. This way it constitutes also the foundation of its future.The best way to preserve it is to help people and our students to understand that each individual is a part of this soul and to helping them to recognize themselves in it

Cultural heritage is what makes us who and what we are. It's a long list of material and non-material things we recieved and are still recieving from our familes, our friend, our schools, our home towns, our countries and the world we live in. It's also the thing we pass on to all of the people we connect with in our lives.

Cultural Heritage is whatever connects us to the past and prepares us for the future. It is whatever unites nations and helps us discover our common identity. Tangible and intangible elements, places of natural beauty, memories, tastes and smells. Things that we have seen and others that we have learn from our ancestors. Things we ought to preserve for our children.

Jana, Germany

roro1 — 2018-04-30 16:33:24 UTC

It is important to share and to live it with all your senses: visit places, taste dishes, listen to stories and share them etc. Digital media can help when it comes to audiovisual transmission: but enjoying cultural heritage together is vital

Olga M. - Italy

olga_mosca — 2018-04-30 16:39:58 UTC

Cultural heritage can be preserved through education, respect, study, discover and ridiscovery of tangible and intangible objects. These elements are the people history and identity. Without knowledge of the past, there is no hope for the future.

Paola M. Italy

Today there are many tools that can help us to preserve the memory of everything that has been. Technology helps a lot, but I believe in the traditions handed down from father to son, in the stories of the people who lived.
We need to tell with our young people: who we are, where we come from and where we want to go. We must also tell with our guests to learn to appreciate us and we must stop and listen to what they have to say about themselves.

Cultural heritage is a strategic resource for the social and economic development of a country. This statement is valid espacially in Italy, country known in the world for its huge cultural heritage. I think that cultural heritage can be preserved by promoting and valuing the natural and cultural goods of a country. To reach this aim also the school plays an important role. Teacher should make students aware not only of the cultural heritage but also of the duty to preserve it.

La herencia cultural se preserva respetando la diversidad y caminando hacia el futuro sin olvidar quiénes somos y de dónde venimos. Los museos son importantes, la educación en el conocimiento del pasado lo es, mantener las tradiciones, las celebraciones, los cuentos, la cocina de nuestros abuelos, las particularidades lingüísticas, los juegos anteriores a esta era digital que estamos viviendo. La globalización no unifica, uniforma, y gracias a nuestro afán por conservar el legado de los que han estado aquí antes que nosotros, podremos admirar obras de arte, disfrutar comidas, leer libros, escuchar músicas, abrir nuestra mente a otras formas de entender el mundo y con todo ello, enriquecernos.

I think Course is an important and an useful tool in the teaching that it can help teachers, to reflect on and develop their competence further, and students, to work together and to right use the TIC. To make the best use of Course in my school, I need to follow course about the topic and technological supports, as LIM, computer, tablet, Internet. Dear colleagues, I advise you to use this tool in your classes, because through it, you can improve your digital skills, learn new strategies, know and to share works.

The cultural heritage is the identity card of man! Through this wealth we know our roots, we discover what we are! From the past to understand the present and fly into the future! The knowledge and value that such assets must be re-evaluated through meaningful teaching. Know to respect!  Teach the emotions that great works of art arouse supported by new technologies!

Ana, Portugal

taveira_anna — 2018-04-30 17:24:11 UTC

To preserve the cultural heritage we must know everything about it and understand its history. We must make it known to the new generations. We can only preserve what we respect and consider valuable.

I think that cultural heritage is a giant repository of tangible and intangible goods that all contribute to forming the European way of looking at the world.I think this immense and precious heritage must be preserved by everyone's contribution and promoted by political bodies at all levels.I also believe that this heritage should not exclude anyone, but that every European should freely and joyfully open up to all the cultural heritages of the world.

Ana Madalena, Lisbon PT

anamadalenaf_1972 — 2018-04-30 17:36:44 UTC

Cultural heritage is our identity card, as an individual but also as part of a nation, it's what connects us to the past and prepares us to embrace and understand the future. It's all our resources in one place! It's something that we can present to others by saying: "This is me, this is us", and that we must cherish, preserve, nurture, promote, share and love, passing it on to future generations.

Maria Letizia, Italy Of course I agree that Cultural Heritage is a treasure of knowledge, practices, identity, beauty, health and that is an opportunity of consciousness for everyone..(I teach History of Art), but I don't think that everything should be preserved, not all the past was good. So I think that preserving cultural Heritage is preserving critical thinking and a critical point of view on cultural phenomenon, saving complexity and diversity. I think that young people can be encouraged looking back to history and discover that things can change

Frida59 — 2018-04-30 17:41:24 UTC

Cultural heritage is a gift that comes from past generations, and must be preserved for future generations. We can preserve our cultural heritage first of all at school, explaining to our students the respect for our natural and cultural patrimony, as well as the importance of our traditions. The beauty of a landscape can be fixed with a photo, or a painting, of a video clip; at the same time the identity of a social group can be recognized thanks to memory, poetry, tastes and scents. We should fight against every generalization and trivialization!

Cultural Heritage is our identity.Its a treasure that was given to us and we have to give it to the next generations

Cultural heritage is our wealth, our identity, our knowledge. It’s the base for any further progress. We preserve what we consider worth and precious. So the first step for educators is making new generation aware and proud of their heritage. I completely agree with what Olga M. said “Cultural heritage can be preserved through education, respect, study, discover and rediscovery of tangible and intangible objects.

Cultural heritage is the legacy of physical artifacts and intangible attributes of a group or society that are inherited from past generations, maintained in the present and preserved for the benefit of future generations. Cultural heritage includes tangible culture (such as buildings, monuments, landscapes, books, works of art, and artifacts), intangible culture (such as folklore, traditions, language, and knowledge), and natural heritage (including culturally significant landscapes, and biodiversity).

I see a cultural heritage like neverending story, vital material always in process of changes, parts of it dissapearing, new ones getting borned every day, there are parts with long duration, also many like sparks but so important. One day somebody draws few lines on the wall or somebody plants tree and in some circumstances it will become part of heritage. Our relations to it, our points of view also change with time, on general and personal level. But until we care, we exist.

2018-04-30 18:14:46 UTC

Ho! European friends. I’m a teachers , I live in Friuli in the north east of Italy. I traveled alot in Europe and I consider all the people I met and all the attraction I saw a a part of our
heritage. We have the opportunity to talk to our sons all over the world our historical , cultural linguistical values. We have to say that values are part of our life and we hope They will be important for the new european generations.

Cultural heritage is a really complex system that includes everything that is passed on by past generations:(tangible objects) monuments, buildings, works of art-(intangible)traditions, values, beliefs, history-(natural)environment and helps shaping a community's identity. I think that communities should respect and preserve tangible objects such as monuments and natural environment in order to pass them on to the future generations in the best possible conditions. As for the intangible, communities should respect but also pause, think critically, filter and adjust the inheritance to the contemporary conditions. Families, Schools-teachers and governments have all a crucial role to play in preserving cultural heritage. Families and teachers should bring children to contact with museums, works of arts, monuments, their history ..... Governments should fund education and civilization (museums, preserving monuments) ...
Digital cultural heritage can certainly spread out the cultural heritage of certain communities to the rest of the world...

Cultural heritage is all of the material and spiritual accumulations of human history that we have reached.
Cultural heritage can be best protected by generations, sharing among nations.

I would also add languages as intangible cultural heritage, because they encase past history, beliefs and traditions of peoples. Europe is rich in language diversity, not only official languages but also minority languages. We can preserve our cultural heritage, including languages, by being able to recognize them and give them value. Let's open our eyes and ears and tastebuds, we are literally surrounded by endless natural beauty and signs of past and present human greatness, along with no less enticing music, dancing and cuisine!

Cultural heritage is what defines us as individuals but also connects us as (human) beings. We can preserve cultural heritage by seeing, talking, listening, translating, smelling, eating, feeling, while opening our minds and hearts to the past, the present and the future of the civilisation.

Cultural heritage shouldn't be considered a 'thing of the past' . It is present and it shapes who we are and our future. It isn't something stative but it is dynamic and constantly evolving. We can preserve our cultural heritage by using it to discover our identity and as a bridge that will connect us to other cultures.

Cultural heritage is a way of life developed by acommunity and transmitted from generation to generation. Do everyone feel connected with the cultural heritage? Probably not, some may think that the traditions are archaic and obsolete, and are not needed nowadays. Perhaps for some they aren’t; and for others, exploration of a cultural heritage offers many advantages. Cultural heritage consists of a lot of things: architecture and buildings, townships, archaeological remains, landscapes, artefacts, art and verbal traditions, the presence of religions that we have in the church, songs, dances etc. Sometimes we can touch and see what culture is; in other cases it is intangible.
The best way to preserve your culture is to keep it alive. It means participating in traditions, learning about religious traditions, because religion connects to language, history, and personal behavior. it is important to speaking your ancestral language, cause thousands of languages are at risk of extinction. Lets say Lithuanian language- it is the oldest surviving Indo-European language, which has preserved the most phonetical and morphological aspects of the proto-language which many other European languages come from. It isn't catastroph to keep alive Lithuanian language yet, but it is important to keep its antique form. Did you know - Lithuanian language is related to Sanskrit (a classical language of India) Latin and Ancient Greek?
To preserve traditional cuisine - cook family recipes or write down recipes shared orally by your relatives.
Another important way to preserve cultural heritage is recording the culture: creating the family tree, personal or family history, interviewing the people whose histories you're telling...

Our cultural heritage consists of all the things we feel the need to preserve in order to have a reminder of who we were. This reminder can help us face our future united as we won't be able to forget our origin. Our cultural heritage can be best preserved when all of us agree that it must be preserved for our own good.

Cultural Heritage is our history, our memories and our identity represented in many ways (culture, values, traditions…), passed on from generation to generation, and implies a shared bond, our belonging to a community.
I think that cultural heritage can be best preserved by beginning to help de youngest to understand the culture and learn to value and care for a culture and eventually enjoy it. Its understanding develops mutual respect and renewed dialogue amongst different cultures.

Cultural heritage is passing down the values,cultures,traditions and buildings from past generations to future generations.All need to know the past well in order to create a good future.We can preserve them by letting our students be aware of them with social and cultural activities going ahead with the lessons such as visiting cultural sites,organizing cultural festivals and ceremonies,reading more about literature and creating more crafts and other types of old arts...

Cultural heritage reveals our deep soul through art, dance, music, cooking, clothing, religion... It's the base connecting all Europeans. Cultural heritage can be preserved with our help. We must transmit our values, our knowledge to the young generations : in the family (cultural holidays...), in school, in the city (exhibitions, lectures...), on social networks...

"Our cultural and natural heritage is an irreplaceable source of life and inspiration. It is our legacy from the past, what we live with today, and what we pass on to future generations."

–UK National Commission for UNESCO

The preservation of cultural heritage is an obligation for each and every one of us since cultural heritage provides us with the majority of the characterstics that define us as personalities. We ought to protect our traditions and even give them the chance to evolve and be part of our everyday lives.

I strongly believe that our cultural heritage makes us who we are and even who we can be. That's why we should all try to protect it by preserving it for future generations through respect for our past and origins.

Elena Pezzi, Italy

elenapezzi — 2018-04-30 21:28:18 UTC

The first action to be taken in order to preserve all types of cultural heritage is to make people aware of it. It could seem obvious, but if tangible heritage is somehow known and appreciated, intangible and natural heritage is less perceived as important.
Above all, as teachers, we have to work with our pupils to make them appreciate and respect our own and other's cultural heritage.
How can we do that? By stimulating curiosity, running projects, involving students in practical activities, connecting them with peers in other countries, planning eTwinning or Erasmus+ projects.
Our motto? Get to know our heritage is get to know each other!

Cultural Heritage is an expression of the ways of living developed by a community and passed on from generation to generation, including customs, practices, places, objects, artistic expressions and values. Cultural Heritage is often expressed as either Intangible or Tangible Cultural Heritage.
As part of human activity Cultural Heritage produces tangible representations of the value systems, beliefs, traditions and lifestyles. As an essential part of culture as a whole, Cultural Heritage, contains these visible and tangible traces form antiquity to the recent past.

Cultural Heritage is a wide concept. I prefer to concentrate on the similarities between the various heritage sectors, instead of on their differences.

It can be preserved:

By understanding (cultural heritage)
people value it
By valuing it
people want to care for it
By caring for it
it will help people enjoy it
From enjoying it
comes a thirst to understand
By understanding it………..etc

“The present is the key to the past” – this sentence summarized an important principle of the geology. In a simple way this principle suggested that geological processes occurring in the present were the same processes that had operated in the past, and would be the processes that operate in the future. So, if we understand the present we can understand the past and project the future.

We can adapt this sentence to the cultural heritage. “The cultural heritage is the key to the future” because help each one to understand your own roots and perspective the future.

It is very important to young people understand your old culture and don’t have shame but proud about your heritage. For instance, the folklore is a tradition very important but not very popular for the young people in some countries. I think is very important understand better the folklore, learn about this subject and have proud in this kind of culture. This is an example but we have others. I think we need improve the knowledge the population about their cultural heritage.

Cultural heritage is what makes us who we are as peoples and individuals. It's the past but also our present. And the way we understand it colours our way to move forward to the future. Storytelling is a good way to preserve it as we all love stories.

Cultural Heritage is the expression of a culture that makes it different and unique, but in dialogue with the others. It's a language that needs to be read, understood and protected. The only way to preserve it is to allow everyone enjoy it, educating to its richness and importance.

Violeta Cumak, Lithuania Violeta Cumak, Lithuania Cultural heritage is a way of life developed by acommunity and transmitted from generation to generation. Do everyone feel connected with the cultural heritage? Probably not, some may think that the traditions are archaic and obsolete, and are not needed nowadays. Perhaps for some they aren’t; and for others, exploration of a cultural heritage offers many advantages. Cultural heritage consists of a lot of things: architecture and buildings, townships, archaeological remains, landscapes, artefacts, art and verbal traditions, the presence of religions that we have in the church, songs, dances etc. Sometimes we can touch and see what culture is; in other cases it is intangible. The best way to preserve your culture is to keep it alive. It means participating in traditions, learning about religious traditions, because religion connects to language, history, and personal behavior. it is important to speaking your ancestral language, cause thousands of languages are at risk of extinction. Lets say Lithuanian language- it is the oldest surviving Indo-European language, which has preserved the most phonetical and morphological aspects of the proto-language which many other European languages come from. It isn't catastroph to keep alive Lithuanian language yet, but it is important to keep its antique form. Did you know - Lithuanian language is related to Sanskrit (a classical language of India) Latin and Ancient Greek? To preserve traditional cuisine - cook family recipes or write down recipes shared orally by your relatives. Another important way to preserve cultural heritage is recording the culture: creating the family tree, personal or family history, interviewing the people whose histories you're telling...

I think that communities should respect and preserve tangible objects such as monuments and natural environment in order to pass them on to the future generations in the best possible conditions. As for the intangible, communities should respect but also pause, think critically, filter and adjust the inheritance to the contemporary conditions. Families, Schools-teachers and governments have all a crucial role to play in preserving cultural heritage. Families and teachers should bring children to contact with museums, works of arts, monuments, their history ..... Governments should fund education and civilization (museums, preserving monuments) ... Digital cultural heritage can certainly spread out the cultural heritage of certain communities to the rest of the world... Stefania N. Italy Stefania N.

We must also tell with our guests to learn to appreciate us and we must stop and listen to what they have to say about themselves.

Emma Giurlani Italy Emma Giurlani Italy the conservation and protection of the world’s inheritance means to me to preserve the soul of the entire humanity .To this end I think that digital heritage can play a crucial role .For this reason I completely agree with the "charter on preservation of digital heritage" saying that “its preservation for the benefit of present and future generations is an urgent issue of worldwide concern” Moreover I think that cultural heritage involves the whole humankind and that every single individual characteristic as “unique resources of human knowledge and expression”(ib) represents a shade of the “big picture” which is worth to be preserved, made accessible and shared as “ heritage of all regions, countries and communities” (ib.) Cultural heritage means not only to be part of the memory of the world , moreover it means to recognize that each single piece of this "picture" form and constitute an integral part of its soul. This way it constitutes also the foundation of its future.The best way to preserve it is to help people and our students to understand that each individual is a part of this soul and to helping them to recognize themselves in it Katarzyna, Poland Katarzyna, Poland Cultural Heritage is US - it's our past and present as well as all the plans for the future.

Various educational cultural projects take place each year but we see no respect in monuments or buildings that are characterized national/ european heritage.

The digital heritage is inherently unlimited by time, geography, culture or format. It is culture-specific, but potentially accessible to every person in the world. Minorities may speak to majorities, the individual to a global audience. The digital heritage of all regions, countries and communities should be preserved and made accessible, so as to assure over time representation of all peoples, nations, cultures and languages. Silvia Silvia Wonderful video! I really believe in Europe. I think cultural heritage is a mix of past and present looking at the future; art, music, food, literature, language, religion...these things made us what we are and we have to share them. To know thyself To know thyself I believe that in order to know where you're heading you should know where you are coming from. I believe that in order to appreciate other cultures first you have to know and appreciate yours. And by culture I include all the stories that I was told, all the food I had the opportunity to taste and all the customs I have witnessed. Mégane Mégane First of all, thank you for sharing these two beautiful videos! I do believe that cultural heritage is what makes us who we are. It could be a mix I suppose, if your parents are from two different countries or even region within a same country. To me, it can include food (the main bit for me! :D), religion, but also definitely the way we live and the way we perceive art and music. It is all those little things that makes our cultural heritage.

“Heritage” is something that is inherited, passed to us from previous generations. In the case of “cultural heritage,” we are not really talking about money or properties here but of culture, values and traditions. Cultural heritage implies a shared bond, our feeling of belonging to a community. It represents our history and our identity; our bond to the past, to our present, and the future

Our cultural heritage is the set of works of art, our actions, our customs, our ways of seeing life, our ways of educating our children, our desires and our dreams, our struggles, ... and that constitute the past of a country and they represent all the cultural, educational, social, political, tangible and intangible wealth that we have inherited from our parents and that we will donate to our children.
Education is the secret. Education in politics, in society, in schools, in universities, in governments... to enjoy and preserve our cultural heritage.

European Cultural Heritage could be a journey through time in order to better understand ourselves and to build a common and sustainable future together.
To preserve it, we need, first and foremost, to be aware of it. Don't you think education is the best way?

Our colective memory is fundamental. We must engage children to our commom cultural heritage. The learning process is fundamental on this. But we can also preserve our heritage (tangible, intangible or natural), all can be digitalized (images, sounds,music, films, text...) all can be preserved nowadays, and we must do it...thats why Europeana's content are so important

WE ARE OUR MEMORIES, we are what we have lived, felt and loved. NOTHING around us, people, monuments, customs, attitudes, thoughts, feelings, dreams etc, is UNIMPORTANT for our life NOW and TOMORROW, and, that’s OUR CULTURAL HERITAGE, that’s what makes us feel strong and ALIVE. We must fight for CARING OUR HERITAGE THROUGH EDUCATION and loving what we do and have around us. If we teach our students to love their cultural heritage, THEIR TANGIBLE AND INTANGIBLE OBJECTS, they will feel the important role they have to play to live in a better world and preserve their cultural heritage.

The Cultural heritage must be preserved for the benefit of humanity because all its components are essential to know the ethical, social and moral values of society, to transmit knowledge from the past, to better understand the experiences lived in everyday life and to better project the future so that we do not make the same mistakes again. The cultural heritage of the different modalities teaches us to be more conscious and participatory human beings in a more democratic, human society and aware of everything and everyone that involves it.

Georgios Seitis, Greece

Cultural heritage is everything that forms part of our identity: tangible culture, intangible culture and natural environment. We should make the cultural heritage part of our lives and our teaching. Students should know its history, its aesthetic and moral power and they should be able to recognize its value, but they should, also, acquire the ability to search, recognize, select (in a critical way) and incorporate in their knowledge all of its aspects.

Cultural Heritage is the legacy of our predecessors, what explains ourselves as human beings, human groups or developed societies; and all the artistic, literary, philosophical, scientific-technical manifestations, present and future, produced by the Human Beings, included, human types, rites and believes, folklore, music, sites in wich Historical Events took place. UNESCO also defines Natural Heritage as integral part of World Heritage.

To preserve Cultural Heritage in which shape it is we need to let people know about it. Especially young people. Most of the time our students don't know much about their own hometown. This year one of my classes is involved in an etwinning project where CH plays an important role. They wrote a story using the steel monuments we have in our town. We didn't know much about these momuments so we had to search for info and discovered their history and meanings. Here are some sketches made by my students.

The system of cultural values within a company creates its identity and determines its place in the world culture record. Cultural heritage is a set of cultural and cultural assets (material and immaterial, mobile and immovable) of local, national and global importance, established throughout history. This reference area is protected and exploited by specific actions of identification, protection, propagation, use and perpetuation of material and spiritual inheritance. At present, there is a reconsideration of the attitude of society towards the cultural and natural heritage, towards the diversity of cultural expressions.

There is a definition that I love and that expresses briefly, everything we understand by Cultural Patromonio in its broadest sense. We found it in Wikipedia. "The cultural heritage is the cultural heritage of a person's past, maintained to the present and transmitted to present and future generations".
It is necessary to understand that this inheritance received, those goods that we receive, reinforce in us the sense of Community with an own identity.
And the best way to preserve it, is to study it, keep it and make it known.

Cultural heritage represent the connection between the present and the past.

'Don't you know that Rome wasn't built in a day?' I personally think that this simple sentence express exactly what cultural Heritage is, the need of humanity to preserve the past in order to grow day by day and to create something beautiful, powerful and emotional for everyone.
Unfortunately respect for the proofs of the past is not always so diffused and it's important to spread the knowledge and to encourage a deep understanding of our cultural European background, not only in schools but also through mass media and new social networks, by promoting visits to museums and monuments and generally by including cultural Heritage in everyday life.
in this way we will be able to preserve cultural Heritage and we will make sure that it will be inspiring our lives also in the future.

Cultural heritage is the testimony left by our ancestors and that helps us to understand the way they lived and their beliefs. It can be found in so different ways, such as buildings, paintings, food traditions, musical traditions, documents, books, clothes, religion beliefs, natural environment … According to each type, Cultural Heritage can be known because it is something tangible, such as a building or a museum (that you can visit); or it can be intangible and go from one generation to another, in a way of story, legend, legacy… The importance of Cultural Heritage preservation is undeniable, since it is important to know our past, to understand our present and to help us going to the future, in a safe way, avoiding the mistakes already done and helping us to make right decisions.

In this way, Cultural Heritage must be preserved. The best way to do that uses a combination of techniques: building restoration; art heritage exhibitions in museums; movies or documentaries; nature preservation; and taking part of nowadays technology developments, digitalizing information, building 3D models, using augmented reality and virtual reality.

Finally, I would like to emphasize politicians’ role, since they are in a decision level, however teachers’ also have an important role, since they can help shaping students’ consciences.

Dubravka, Croatia In time of globalization and quick changes it is important to keep and preserve cultural heritage and collective memories of what were in order to know what we are. Cultural heritage represents a bridge in the time continuum between the past and the present.

Cultural heritage can be preserved by making it live! Simon Thurley, who designed the heritage cycle, gives us an idea how we can make the past part of our future.

Bring it to projects (local or international) so the students can enjoy it, by enjoying they will understand it better, by understanding they will value it, by valuing it they will want to care for it and by caring for it they will enjoy it more.

The first video presents some beautiful examples of Cultural Heritage, in its tangible and intangible aspects.
The second video shows the real power of Cultural Heritage. It can affect our state of mind in different ways; looking for different scenaries, we always experience a lot of, sometimes opposite, emotional states.
Preserving our Cultural Heritage is extremely important. Every educator has a positive duty to teach the necessity of its respect, considering not only examples of the national heritage, in its tangible and natural aspects, but also elements of the Cultural Heritage of other States. I believe that the process of converting resources into digital forms can help save and promote, on a large scale, the Cultural Heritage, especially the intangible Cultural Heritage.

BUT YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE TO RECOGNIZE THE WORLD CULTURE. GIRLS SHOULD GO TO SCHOOL. BUT TRADITIONAL MEALS LEARNED. WE CAN SAY SAME THIS ABOUT USING CULTURAL HERITAGE AND TECHNOLOGY FOR CLOTHING CULTURE, FOR MARRIAGE CULTURE, ART, LITERATURE CULTURE.

The value of our cultural heritage also comes from its contribution to the universal culture and its privileged position in human history.

What Is Cultural Heritage?

How do you think cultural heritage can be best preserved?

Cultural heritage is all material or immaterial resource that underlies the identity of a society. It is the main thread that connects the past to the present in the communities and guarantees its continuity in the future. Cultural heritage brings together the fundamental features that characterize a community, a region, a country, a continent, like Europe. The preservation of cultural heritage is fundamental to guarantee the identity of societies and their development. In a globalized world, preserving cultural heritage is indispensable as a factor of peace and progress.

In addition to all kinds of cultural heritage promotion and protection, I believe that the education of the new generations is the decisive factor in preserving cultural heritage and, in this context, School plays an irreplaceable role.

I consider that cultural heritage is the mere definition of everyone of us. Everything we see, breathe, think, experience, utter, smile, laugh or even cry at, relates to cultural heritage. Cultural heritage is what makes us unique as Europeans mainly or as Romanian, German, Italian ................specifically. It is therefore, essential to do our best to preserve cultural heritage so that the future generations may enjoy the beauty of European specificity which we sometimes so much take for granted.

stefania_balducci — 2018-05-02 11:26:50 UTC

Cultural heritage is something that connects the past to ourselves and to our future. Through the cultural heritage we can get to know previous generations and it can help us understand who we are and why we are the ones we are. The cultural heritage is also to be found everywhere, if only we look for it. Therefore it is available to everyone.

Museums, local compounds, libraries, national agencies - all have an important task to preserve cultural heritage, but it is also useful in school. To understand what you see requires teaching. Haven't you all noticed the difference between visiting a museum with a guide and without a guide?

Sabina M, Poland

sabinamalik — 2018-05-02 21:04:15 UTC

In my opinion cultural heritage will be preserved if we (teachers, parents) pass our knowledge about it to young people. We should make them realize cultural diversity of the world and let them experience such diversity through travel and engaging international projects. The most important step in the process of promoting cultural heritage is building knowledge of your own homeland: its traditions, customs, history. Teachers should also shape the attitude of tolerance and openness towards other cultures.

Cultural Heritage are all those things that we have in our history for years and nowadays like arts, foods, music, literature...but it is intangible things like believes, philosophical thoughts. We have too a natural heritage, very important, which we must take care: our forest, rivers, sea...Let´s contribute to preserve it!
European heritage is joining us...because there are more things between our countries which join...more than things which could separate us

From Baranda, a small village in Vojvodina where my grandparents came from, through Belgrade the capitol city of Serbia, where I did my studies, to Hannover and Stuttgart in Germany, where I have lived for a while, I feel my own Cultural Heritage.
I think Cultural Heritage is a state of mind - it is something that develops through our own experiences in everyday life. That is why it is important to teach children how to recognize that they are part of European culture and to feel free to examine their past and to shape their future.

Cultural heritage can be best preserved by living it, talking about it, telling the stories that are worth of remembering, sharing your own ideas with a comunity about preservation your own and others cultural identities, and, maybe most important,
not to forget who you are, and to pass that identity to your children and others that has obligation to preserve culture heritage in the future.

Cultural heritage often brings to mind artifacts (paintings, drawings, prints, mosaics, sculptures), historical monuments and buildings, as well as archaeological sites.
The protection of cultural property is an old problem. One of the most frequently recurring issues in protecting cultural heritage is the difficult relationship between the interests of the individual and the community, the balance between private and public rights.

I believe that a good contribution to the preservation of cultural heritage comes from its dissemination and knowledge to the community. Making aware of its daily importance in the construction of our future. Facilitate the formation of a sense of belonging that means identification and protection. And to do this we must continue to engage above all in educational activities at school. But also in the promotion of all those events that can bring cultural heritage closer to the community. Both in presence and through the different media for communication.

The easiest way to preserv cultural Heritage is to engage children, boys and girls in experiences in built spaces, in museums, in cities, in nature, in a painting, in a traditional food ...
Then they have to study and manipulate. In this frame, they can understand that the differences between things, people, ways of thinking or traditions are strength and riche, not fear or mistrust source.

Traveling, knowing, living, understanding, experimenting: ways to discover the beauty of the world. This “ experienced consciousness” is the start to preserve our cultural heritage as a “good thing” because “it interests me and is important for my life and the future of the world.”

Violeta Cumak, Lithuania Violeta Cumak, Lithuania Cultural heritage is a way of life developed by acommunity and transmitted from generation to generation.

Perhaps for some they aren’t; and for others, exploration of a cultural heritage offers many advantages. Cultural heritage consists of a lot of things: architecture and buildings, townships, archaeological remains, landscapes, artefacts, art and verbal traditions, the presence of religions that we have in the church, songs, dances etc. Sometimes we can touch and see what culture is; in other cases it is intangible. The best way to preserve your culture is to keep it alive. It means participating in traditions, learning about religious traditions, because religion connects to language, history, and personal behavior. it is important to speaking your ancestral language, cause thousands of languages are at risk of extinction. Lets say Lithuanian language- it is the oldest surviving Indo-European language, which has preserved the most phonetical and morphological aspects of the proto-language which many other European languages come from. It isn't catastroph to keep alive Lithuanian language yet, but it is important to keep its antique form. Did you know - Lithuanian language is related to Sanskrit (a classical language of India) Latin and Ancient Greek?

I think that communities should respect and preserve tangible objects such as monuments and natural environment in order to pass them on to the future generations in the best possible conditions. As for the intangible, communities should respect but also pause, think critically, filter and adjust the inheritance to the contemporary conditions. Families, Schools-teachers and governments have all a crucial role to play in preserving cultural heritage. Families and teachers should bring children to contact with museums, works of arts, monuments, their history .....

Cultural heritage means not only to be part of the memory of the world , moreover it means to recognize that each single piece of this "picture" form and constitute an integral part of its soul. This way it constitutes also the foundation of its future.The best way to preserve it is to help people and our students to understand that each individual is a part of this soul and to helping them to recognize themselves in it Katarzyna, Poland Katarzyna, Poland Cultural Heritage is US - it's our past and present as well as all the plans for the future.

I think cultural heritage is a mix of past and present looking at the future; art, music, food, literature, language, religion...these things made us what we are and we have to share them. To know thyself To know thyself I believe that in order to know where you're heading you should know where you are coming from. I believe that in order to appreciate other cultures first you have to know and appreciate yours. And by culture I include all the stories that I was told, all the food I had the opportunity to taste and all the customs I have witnessed. Mégane Mégane First of all, thank you for sharing these two beautiful videos! I do believe that cultural heritage is what makes us who we are. It could be a mix I suppose, if your parents are from two different countries or even region within a same country. To me, it can include food (the main bit for me! :D), religion, but also definitely the way we live and the way we perceive art and music. It is all those little things that makes our cultural heritage.

Cultural heritage is a set of values, objects, ideas and places. They have their origin in the past and influence the citizens who live in a deteminated place. We are what we are because of the context that surrounds us. The best way to preserve cultural heritage is through education. It is important that our students know all the cultural heritage that surrounds them so that they feel part of it. In addition, in a globalized world, we must look beyond and know the cultural heritage of other countries to understand and value it.

https://www.calgaryschild.com/family-fun/activities/611-being-thankful-for-your-family-heritage-5-things-you-can-pass-down-to-your-kids
For me, cultural heritage is very important. It's what gives value to our lives, a reason to keep going. Noone has fallen from the sky having no roots at all. This is why each parent should try to make a bridge between the past and the future, the grandparents and the grandchildren.

As a definition, cultural heritage is an expression of the ways of living developed by a community and passed on from generation to generation, including customs, practices, places, objects, artistic expressions and values.

But cultural heritage is more than that, is part of us, is in your value systems, in our beliefs,
traditions and lifestyles.
Because we are teachers, I think that cultural heritage can be preserved through education, but not only. I will not mention here all the factors involved or that should be involved in the effort of preserving cultural heritage, I will only name the role of the family, first and then of school

Violeta Cumak, Lithuania Violeta Cumak, Lithuania Cultural heritage is a way of life developed by acommunity and transmitted from generation to generation. Do everyone feel connected with the cultural heritage? Probably not, some may think that the traditions are archaic and obsolete, and are not needed nowadays. Perhaps for some they aren’t; and for others, exploration of a cultural heritage offers many advantages. Cultural heritage consists of a lot of things: architecture and buildings, townships, archaeological remains, landscapes, artefacts, art and verbal traditions, the presence of religions that we have in the church, songs, dances etc. Sometimes we can touch and see what culture is; in other cases it is intangible. The best way to preserve your culture is to keep it alive. It means participating in traditions, learning about religious traditions, because religion connects to language, history, and personal behavior. it is important to speaking your ancestral language, cause thousands of languages are at risk of extinction. Lets say Lithuanian language- it is the oldest surviving Indo-European language, which has preserved the most phonetical and morphological aspects of the proto-language which many other European languages come from. It isn't catastroph to keep alive Lithuanian language yet, but it is important to keep its antique form. Did you know - Lithuanian language is related to Sanskrit (a classical language of India) Latin and Ancient Greek?

Mégane Mégane First of all, thank you for sharing these two beautiful videos! I do believe that cultural heritage is what makes us who we are.

In a simple way this principle suggested that geological processes occurring in the present were the same processes that had operated in the past, and would be the processes that operate in the future. So, if we understand the present we can understand the past and project the future. We can adapt this sentence to the cultural heritage. “The cultural heritage is the key to the future” because help each one to understand your own roots and perspective the future. It is very important to young people understand your old culture and don’t have shame but proud about your heritage. For instance, the folklore is a tradition very important but not very popular for the young people in some countries.

I think we need improve the knowledge the population about their cultural heritage.

Violeta Cumak, Lithuania Violeta Cumak, Lithuania Cultural heritage is a way of life developed by acommunity and transmitted from generation to generation. Do everyone feel connected with the cultural heritage? Probably not, some may think that the traditions are archaic and obsolete, and are not needed nowadays. Perhaps for some they aren’t; and for others, exploration of a cultural heritage offers many advantages. Cultural heritage consists of a lot of things: architecture and buildings, townships, archaeological remains, landscapes, artefacts, art and verbal traditions, the presence of religions that we have in the church, songs, dances etc. Sometimes we can touch and see what culture is; in other cases it is intangible. The best way to preserve your culture is to keep it alive. It means participating in traditions, learning about religious traditions, because religion connects to language, history, and personal behavior. it is important to speaking your ancestral language, cause thousands of languages are at risk of extinction. Lets say Lithuanian language- it is the oldest surviving Indo-European language, which has preserved the most phonetical and morphological aspects of the proto-language which many other European languages come from. It isn't catastroph to keep alive Lithuanian language yet, but it is important to keep its antique form. Did you know - Lithuanian language is related to Sanskrit (a classical language of India) Latin and Ancient Greek?

I think that communities should respect and preserve tangible objects such as monuments and natural environment in order to pass them on to the future generations in the best possible conditions. As for the intangible, communities should respect but also pause, think critically, filter and adjust the inheritance to the contemporary conditions. Families, Schools-teachers and governments have all a crucial role to play in preserving cultural heritage. Families and teachers should bring children to contact with museums, works of arts, monuments, their history ..... Governments should fund education and civilization (museums, preserving monuments) ... Digital cultural heritage can certainly spread out the cultural heritage of certain communities to the rest of the world... Stefania N. Italy Stefania N. Italy I would also add languages as intangible cultural heritage, because they encase past history, beliefs and traditions of peoples.

Cultural heritage consists of a lot of things: architecture and buildings, townships, archaeological remains, landscapes, artefacts, art and verbal traditions, the presence of religions that we have in the church, songs, dances etc. Sometimes we can touch and see what culture is; in other cases it is intangible. The best way to preserve your culture is to keep it alive. It means participating in traditions, learning about religious traditions, because religion connects to language, history, and personal behavior. it is important to speaking your ancestral language, cause thousands of languages are at risk of extinction. Lets say Lithuanian language- it is the oldest surviving Indo-European language, which has preserved the most phonetical and morphological aspects of the proto-language which many other European languages come from.

It is all those little things that makes our cultural heritage.

Cultural heritage is a complex concept beacuse it includes everything that the society believes it's right to preserve. It is a set of ideas, values, physical objects, landscape, archeological sites, habits ans traditions, buildings and works that we receive from the past. So we decide that future generations must know this cultural object because we estimate that they are original compared with the past, they are the best example of beauty, innovation or strategic solution in their type. Cultural heritage is connected with memory, preservation and knowledge. I think that people must be educated to respect cultural heritage in order to keep on admiring and studying them and their messages.

Cultural heritage links Europe with a common history and values. It also represents the richness and diversity of our cultural traditions. We should respect and celebrate our shared cultural heritage. However, cultural heritage is not just a reference to the past. It also shows us the way forward and helps us to create our future.
Cultural heritage brings people closer and contributes to a more cohesive society. It supports growth and creates jobs in cities and regions and is the key to Europe's relations with the rest of the world. It has enormous potential for Europe, but it must be better exploited.
Europe's cultural heritage faces many challenges - from changes in people's participation in cultural events to environmental threats and illicit trafficking in cultural objects.
Programme UNESCO has identified the need to establish culturalcultural activities to preserve the cultural heritage.
Digital technologies are the effective ways how to do it, too. For example, drones, 3D scanners, photography, virtual reality and local experts can capture these sites in incredible detail so they are not lost in the future to earthquakes, terrorism, floods or other disasters.

To preserve it, it is important to educate both children and adults to respect it. This is a very difficult task. To respect...educate to appreciate the beauty,

cultural heritage is the physical inheritance of artifacts and objects (attributes) of a group or society that are inherited from past generations to present generations in order to care for the good of future generations. Cultural heritage includes cultural property also known as material culture (such as buildings, monuments, landscapes, books, works of art and objects), spiritual culture (such as folklore, traditions, language and traditional knowledge), such as and natural heritage (including important cultural landscapes and biodiversity).

Cultural Heritage is the mirror of the way in which human beings live. It tells us the story of a Country and its people (history, monuments, traditions, landscapes, literature, but also cooking recipes, habits, music). We must respect it  and educate everyone to preserve it since when we are children, firstly by families and secondly by school. In my opinion, respecting ideas of the others is the first step. We must try to learn from other cultures, share and promote the places that make up our history, our customs and enrich each other. We must learn to be responsible and perceptive people to try and save this priceless treasure.

Dora Pereira, Portugal

DCris_pt — 2018-05-04 17:17:53 UTC

Trying to explain the concept of cultural heritage we can begin by decomposing the concept into two words: Inheritance that means something we inherit, that is, of our ancestors and Cultural that relates to a set of behaviors, beliefs, institutions, and material values. Therefore we are talking about values that we inherit and that, being part of our present, will be determining influences in our near or far future (future generations).
To preserve the cultural heritage we need to start right away taking care of it, by giving this values to our children and creating, for example, organisations to make sure everyone at least respects what we inherit.

“Heritage” is a property, something that is inherited, passed down from previous generations. In the case of “cultural heritage,” the heritage doesn’t consist of money or property, but of culture, values and traditions. Cultural heritage implies a shared bond, our belonging to a community. It represents our history and our identity; our bond to the past, to our present, and the future.

Cultural heritage often brings to mind artifacts (paintings, drawings, prints, mosaics, sculptures), historical monuments and buildings, as well as archaeological sites. But the concept of cultural heritage is even wider than that, and has gradually grown to include all evidence of human creativity and expression: photographs, documents, books and manuscripts, and instruments, etc. either as individual objects or as collections. Today, towns, underwater heritage, and the natural environment are also considered part of cultural heritage since communities identify themselves with the natural landscape.

Moreover, cultural heritage is not only limited to material objects that we can see and touch. It also consists of immaterial elements: traditions, oral history, performing arts, social practices, traditional craftsmanship, representations, rituals, knowledge and skills transmitted from generation to generation within a community.
Intangible heritage therefore includes a dizzying array of traditions, music and dances such as tango and flamenco, holy processions, carnivals, falconry, Viennese coffee house culture, the Azerbaijani carpet and its weaving traditions, Chinese shadow puppetry, the Mediterranean diet, Vedic Chanting, Kabuki theatre, the polyphonic singing of the Aka of Central Africa

Turkey and is based on thousands of years of history to Anatolia. The historical Akhilleus and Truva.Conan the Barbarian. The Eastern Roman Empire was born in Anatolia. The Sumerians who invented the wheel were born in Anatolia. In other words, civilization was born in Anatolia. Turkey in every city, every town has history. Of course this cultural accumulation is our cultural treasure. The basis of such factors as food, clothing, behavior, neighborhood relations, and hospitality are our cultural treasures. But the flourishing city life has affected our neighborhood relations in bad faith. I hope we solve this problem just like Japan.

It has been noticed that the protection of cultural heritage sites from the point of view of their value plays a role in the societal development level at the same time. With this awareness, understanding of cultural heritage management has gained a new dimension, and the development of strategies and field management for the preservation of cultural heritage areas with a sustainable, holistic and participatory approach has been entered into the process

Europe is well known as a Old lady with reason. European cultural heritage is priceless. Croatia is a very small part of EU but very important especially in natural and intangible cultural heritage. Unfortunately linguistic area of intangible cultural heritage is critical so the main goal is to preserve local idioms. Some Croatian areas have different dialects: cakavian, kajkavian and stokavian. Also almost every village has specific local idiom. Because most origin speakers are old, their death represent extinction of one language. This fact was motivation to my students so they explored and recorded original tellers and made distinctive dictionary of the most frequent words in 21 idiom.

In my view Cultural Heritage is an essential component of each of US. We are not some singular beings, but every human is a part of a biger identity and belongs to different "social entities" such as: 'human civilization', 'the national soul' , other chosen or contextual group identities. It is a timeless dimension of our definition as humans and a collective identity
playing on the background of our expression and choices.
Being conciously aware of this collective cultural identity can be a very important motivational force to actively contribute to preserving the heritage of human civilisation and to assure its continuity in all best possible ways.

In my opinion Cultural Heritage is part of everyone, beside nature or tangible heritage it is part of our values, ideas, aesthetics, taste... that is why it is important and we have to respect our own heritage in order to appreciate others. Best way to preserve it, is to live it, learn about it so we could be aware of it as part of ourselves.

Cultural Heritage is the complex of tangible, intangibile, digital products and natural sites which representsthe past, the present and the future of humanity’s evolution. Its preservation is important to develop sense of identity and – by contrast – to develop appreciation of different identities. It can be best guaranteed through education, which spreads knowledge and the critical thinking, necessary for a full comprehennsion of it and of the innermost meaning of its different expressions.

Cultural heritage shapes our identities and everyday lives. The best way to preserve it is creating an awareness of the importance of cultural heritage through social networking sites such as Facebook ,Twitter etc..Educating people about it is also important.

Italy
Cultural heritage in all its forms and expressions represents identity
historical of individual peoples and their ancient civilizations, but at the same time expresses values
universally recognized. The testimony of past civilizations, handed down through the wealth of thought, the arts and creativity, is a strong and indispensable link with current and future generations and therefore requires strong protection.
The responsibility to protect the cultural heritage implies, therefore, to put in place every
possible effort to preserve it as an instrument of knowledge, dialogue and understanding
reciprocal between different cultures. Only through a path of knowledge, in fact, one can
share the wealth that every culture brings to the development and growth of our economy
and of civil society. Preserving cultural diversity is the first fundamental step for respect
between peoples and their cultures.

For me, cultural heritage is best preserved when generations are taught within their families and in schools about their national culture and also when they are naturally exposed to it. When cultural heritage is lived and understood it can be easily transferred to the coming generations. Thus it has consistance and it is authentic. The basic ingredients for being forever present.

Roberta, Italy

Cultural heritage is what makes you feel ‘part of’, it is what gives you a sense of belonging.

And then, as you grow older, it is what makes you feel proud of ‘being part of’ and ‘belonging to’.

And then, again, as you grow wiser, it is that, which you are honoured to preserve and treasure for the generations to come.

It is the history, the memories, the ideas, the stories, the tales, the beauty, the tragedy, the perfumes, the pains, the colours, the melodies and much more that have shaped you and your community as human beings and as citizens.

It is what you want to make known to others because there cannot be beauty if it is not shared.

María Pellón, Spain

Cultural Heritage are all the resources from the pass that we enjoy, live or believe in the present. I mean art, music, films, traditions, legends, food, historic landscapes, etc. things that we can discover by travelling, studying at school or at university, or just being at home watching our families.
It has to be preserved thanks to people who are concerned about this huge legacy throughout institutions and above all throughout education.

The cultural heritage is present in our lives, is part of it, and is always there, even if we don't see or don't know it.

Is always associated to our socio-economic reality being our duty to meet it, protect it, preserving it and value it. Is part of our past and enables us to see the future. It is part of the cultural heritage tangible, intangible and digital cultural heritage. Portugal is the country with largest number of classified monuments being a good example to follow.

Allows, every one of us, feel the culture (whatever it may be and how it presents itself) of a very personal way, knowing the past and projecting us into the future.

Suzie, Finland

suzieelizabeth — 2018-05-06 19:00:29 UTC

Cultural heritage is a board term often assumed to mean the same thing as history, and often used for touristic purposes. More accurately, we might think about cultural heritage as the impact of the past in the present. Heritage is also a political issue, with often dominant or authoritative voices having the power to decide what kind of heritage is celebrated and what is silenced. As in the context of Europe, some kinds of heritage may be instrumentalised for different political agendas, or other more difficult or contested parts of heritage may be deliberately ignored. It is a fascinating area of research though and in the context of teaching allows for generating much debate.

Ogni popolo possiede un patrimonio culturale unico, che gli è stato trasmesso dalle generazioni passate; ed è questo patrimonio che lo caratterizza e ne definisce l'identità. È molto importante, perciò, per tutti noi conoscere le proprie radici perché esse ci hanno fatti diventare quelli che siamo oggi. Senza la conoscenza, inoltre, non si può parlare di conservazione dei beni culturali, i quali costituiscono un tesoro immenso da difendere sia dalle calamità naturali, sia dai danni provocati dall'uomo.
La responsabilità di tutelarli e conservarli deve riguardare tutti, dai politici alla gente comune, ma è la scuola che deve insegnare ai giovani il valore del proprio patrimonio culturale. Solo con l'educazione essi impareranno a rispettarlo, amarlo, preservarlo e trasmetterlo alle generazioni future.

According to the different types of
cultural heritage linked above these lines -Tangible. Intangible, Digital and Natural- it is possible to find common solutions to preserve Cultural Heritage, despite their differences. As the same word "Heritage"means -something you are going to pass to the next generations, something that you are going to offer to those who are younger or even doesn´t exist nowadays- our present it is something that we must preserve to go on with this transference. To have a successful result in this complicated mission, first of all we must be aware about the real value of those things that surrround us in our daily lives. We must be aware that they do not belong to us, as individuals, but our past, our history, and to the humanity. Once we really know about the value of this heritage, education is one of the most important tools that we have to preserve those treasures. About tangible heritage, once one sculpture, building, painting, etc. is destroyed; there´s no replacement for it. It ends for ever and ever. About intangible heritage, What happens when a tradition kept during centuries in a small village is not followed by young people?: it dissapears. About nature heritage our style of life is, literally, killing Mother Earth. Despite all the destruction we are on time to change this situation and repair the damage done... but, until now, it seems that we are not ready for this change of course. Education, education, not only in a intelectual way but in a emotional as well.

How do you think cultural heritage can be best preserved?

Cultural Heritage is part of what we are, of our identity as individuals, belonging to an ethnicity, a country, who share a common history, culture, traditions and language. It is very important that we all understand the importance of preserving our common cultural heritage. Only by looking at the past, can we trace a meaningful future. It really is very easy to preserve cultural heritage through digital, or non digital means. For example exhibits in museums, sites like Europeana and virtual reality sites.

It consists of tangible objects, intangible thoughts and emotions, it includes our language, our music, our kitchen, our stories, our art... Our cultural heritage makes a community out of us and links us together. Even more, cultural heritage links together people of diverse cultures, celebrating our diversities as things that make our cultural identity.

For me, Cultural heritage is a wide concept that is not easy to define. Every day I pass on to my 2 sons my ways and believes in life, THAT I RECEIVED FROM MY PARENTS AND SO ON. Toward the years this will built the thing we call as a cultural heritage. Places, monuments and other are seen as a culture.
We can't "put" all heritage in "a single bag". We have Built Environment, natural ones as well as the artefacts.
In my opinion, the best way to preserve it is by valuing our cultural aspects, therefore people will preserve it. It's what is called the Heritage Cycle (Simon Thurley, 2005).
If parents don't value the country's cultural heritage, schools must develop programs that make young children value each country's cultural heritage.

Cultural heritage is not reserved only for art or things like that. Cultural heritage is also cuisine or lifestyle special for an area or nation. We have to preserve our cultural heritage because we are what we are through our heritage, through oure languages, poetry, cuisine, folk dances, myths and legends, way of life. How to preserve it? The best way is to live it. And to learn in school about it, organise manifestations or festivals, value work of NGO's which are working on preserving our cultural heritage.

I think Cultural Heritage is a collection of traditions, customs and everyday habits (artistic, scientific, gastronomic etc) which link us together and give us a form of identity. In order to preserve this, I believe it is essential for us to stand back and really appreciate the value of these aspects and, of course, pass on this appreciation to future generations through education, at home, in local communities and in schools.

What makes each individual person is what he inherited from his ancestors. Whether we are talking about the genetic heritage or the cultural heritage of any kind, the individual would have no value in the present that the past was not influenced by the present.

cultural heritage can be preserved only if it is appreciated by people. I think opening museums to all EU citizens, giving them the possibilty of ffree entrance would be a good idea. In Spain there are many young volunteers guiding free tours: a fresh way to learn !

A good way to preserve cultural heritage is:

- weaving the subject of cultural heritage into various school activities

- showing the importance of cultural heritage for our present life during school classes and during event in cultural institutions

- informal education is very important

- it is important don`t make in formal school dedicated subject - cultural heritage

Many do not know it, but heritage encompasses much more than you can imagine. According to UNESCO, it is divided into material, immaterial and natural. Inside the material is everything that can be touched: monuments, archaeological sites, paintings, sculptures, manuscripts. The immaterial are oral traditions, rituals, among others. While the natural is the landscapes, the protected areas, everything we can see and surprises us when we travel around the country.

These demonstrations speak for themselves of what we are, we were and will be. Caring for them and disseminating them will only bring us benefits as a country, such as significantly increasing visitor numbers, strengthening our identity and improving the quality of life for all.
Cultural tourism is an important source to build economic and cultural wealth and our country, so care, innovation, prevention and conservation of them is essential. For these reasons, among others, there must be a balance between tourism and culture.

How can we help take care of our cultural patrimony?

Keeping our material cultural heritage clean.

Protecting the environment of tourist attractions.

Not spoiling the historical monuments and their surroundings. The monuments do not work as a recreational area. The best way to give them a good use is to appreciate them and seek to know more about them. Each one has been made with a purpose and its historical burden is invaluable.

Stay alert to any threat. It is our responsibility to be alert to any threat to heritage.

Cultural heritage is everything people left in the world (objects, songs, buildings, natural things, things on the web, stories…). And if we are aware, we can take profit of it. We can understand better the future if we know things about the past. It’s what we are thanks to people who were in this world before us. Don’t miss it!

What Is Cultural Heritage?

How do you think cultural heritage can be best preserved?
I think that cultural heritage is all what is around us and it creates our identity. We shoud know and be aware of it, in all its complexity (material, immaterial, natural, digital, artistic, enogastronomic exc.). The best way to protect it is making people aware of its uncommensurable value and of the fact that our identity depends on it. So schools should have a great role in this with learning activities about cultural heritage but also in creating into student's mind an attitude of curiosity and protection towards cultural heritage. But all national and European community should be involved in this and feel involved (infact this should involve also informale education.

Il patrimonio culturale è il passato di un gruppo di persone fatto di storie, idee, oggetti, cucina e tradizioni (tangibile, immateriale, digitale e naturale) da trasmettere alle nuove generazioni per offrirgli una solida base di idee e valori.

Se ciascuna donna e ciascun uomo, nel proprio spazio e tempo, prestassero più attenzione a ciò che di irripetibile ed unico dal passato è giunto fino a noi, sentirebbero l’esigenza di proteggerlo e prendersene cura con impegno e responsabilità, affinché le generazioni future ne possano godere, preservarlo a loro volta e farne punto di partenza per creare altro di irripetibile e unico. Occorre educare, in famiglia a scuola e nei contesti sociali, al gusto del bello e quindi al rispetto, e all'incanto del conoscere. Attraverso iniziative di promozione e diffusione, incontri, percorsi didattici, è possibile far emergere la parte sommersa o poco conosciuta del patrimonio culturale di un territorio. L'uso delle nuove tecnologie può rendere il tutto più coinvolgente e accattivante soprattutto per i giovani e i ragazzi. La Cultura rende l'uomo libero e consapevole.

Cultural heritage can be tangible, intangible, digital and natural. Portuguese identity is made of all these types of cultural heritage. Music like Fado , Cante Alentejano, places like Sintra, Lisbon , books like "Lusíadas" are some examples of cultural heritage. We can preserve it by writing about it, for instance, by telling our kids, our students, how important is to preserve Portugal's heritage.

The cultural heritage of a country could be compared to the roots of a person's belonging, therefore of a people, a sort of family album, which collects memories, events, shows the changes occurred over time.
The cultural heritage of a country is the historical narration of the country itself, of its people.

In order to preserve the cultural heritage, in all its components, it is essential to build a "first" collective civic conscience and to develop a strong sense of belonging to society (which grows and changes over time), which aims at participatory protection and the safeguarding of assets as a heritage of the whole community.
Dialogue between individuals and institutions is essential, in order to feel part of a context whose values, culture, traditions and goods must be preserved.

As the introduction of this module quite nicely put it, everything tangible we have left behind is cultural heritage. Also the way of our living is heritage. But it is always political decision what is appreciated as cultural heritage. Which old building is preserved and which one is decided to demolish is political decision. In the global world also ways of living change fast. It is futile to try to preserve all archaic habits. Sometimes change is warmly welcomed. Otherwise women would be never got right to vote.

Preserving cultural heritage is however important. To have a balanced and inclusive policy to preserve the cultural heritage is important. As a teacher my job is to rise awareness of my students to observe, discuss and act to preserve cultural heritage they think is worth to preserve.

Our cultural heritage is also changing all the time.

Cultural heritage is the legacy of physical objects and intangible aspects of a group or society (values, culture, traditions, beliefs ..) inherited from the past. This legacy may be a bridge between the past and the future if particular care to maintain it is taken in the present for the benefit of future generations.

Cultural heritage can be preserved if new generations are taught its importance and value from an early age and if it is explained to them that everyone, in small ways, is an important ring in a chain that aims at protecting it. And adults must be a living example of how to contribute to this cause with simple actions such as helping keep monuments clean, visiting museums for learning, collecting local stories/traditions/customs and sharing them, protecting the natural environment and reserves.

Rui Carvalho, Portugal

2018-05-29 16:55:50 UTC

The preservation and appreciation of peoples' past and collective memory is often a dilemma. This need of the human being to preserve his past applies not only to the architectural collection but to all forms of cultural manifestations of a society. Behind the man-made forms we can distinguish a series of underlying, implicit and generally unconscious norms in the collective mind that determine the values and categories of what is good or bad, right or wrong, beautiful or ugly, in the production of artifacts or cultural objects. Thus, through the education of our young people, we can contribute to making future generations aware of the need, and importance, of the cultural heritage.

Iulia Holzli, Romania

I personally think that cultural heritage can be divided into two categories: the cultural heritage that we are born into, which is basically given to us, made up of the environment we grow up in, from buildings to traditions, language so culture generally speaking and a second category is your own personal cultural heritage, which every person ends up creating for themselves during their lives. The latter you can choose, the former is chosen for you. It can be preserved by becoming aware of it first of all and education plays a key role in preserving it.

Cultural heritage can be preserved in many different ways, literature, art, customs, stories, cuisine and so on. The best way to preserve our cultural heritage is to promote it in any possible way, talking about it, passing it on, teaching others, describing, demonstrating, helping others better understand it, engaging....
When we talk about education, the best way to promote it is to have Skype lessons with students from other countries. I have done it many times. My students have presented our traditional clothes, our folk music and folk dance so that others could get to know my country cultural heritage better..and it helped a lot. Promote your cultural heritage!!! That's my idea!

Cultural Heritage can be best preserved when one is aware of all the huge variety of things that have shaped it up throughout the years (art, music, monuments, languages, customs,nature, beliefs, gastronomy, dances...)
We can preserve it if we teach others about it we share it , respect it , learn to love it and live it.

Oggi più che mai,diventa necessario di difendere e interrogarci su quale tipo di cultura stiamo costruendo e quali condizioni di dialogo dobbiamo mettere in atto per un approccio umano e cristiano all'intercultura. In questo scenario in cui i media danno accesso a una sorta di dialogo indiretta tra i popoli e civiltà diverse e lontane, permettono scambi sempre maggiori, assistiamo anche al nascere di forti pressioni verso una omologazione totale delle culture, percepita come una minaccia alla propria identità millenaria. A questo proposito Giovanni Paolo II diceva" La cultura è l'elemento essenziale che costituisce l'identità di un popolo, la sua più intima ed autentica espressione,valore unico e diritto fondamentale."

Cultural heritage is awareness of who we are. It is a simple feeling of being proud when you hear a sound of songs your parents sung or hear a stories of braveness of your ancestors. We should all be open minded and respect others, but it is very important to respect our past and perserve it by telling a stories to our children, to meet all cool places and people in our environment and then in our country with their backgrounds and to use a technology in saving the past and all our cultural heritage.

I think that very important is often necessary to defend and question ourselves on what kind of culture we are building and what conditions of dialogue we must put in place for a human and Christian approach to interculture.In this scenario where the media give access to a sort of Indirect dialogue between different and distant peoples and civilizations, allow ever greater exchanges, we also witness the emergence of strong pressures towards a total homologation of cultures, perceived as a threat to their millennial identity.

Cultural Heritage is an expression of the ways of living developed by a community and passed on from generation to generation, including customs, practices, places, objects, artistic expressions and values. Cultural Heritage encompasses several main categories: tangible and intangible, natural and cultural, movable and immovable and documentary assets inherited from the past and transmitted to future generations by virtue of their irreplaceable value.
As a source of identity, heritage is a valuable factor for empowering local communities and enabling vulnerable groups to participate fully in social and cultural life. It can also provide time-tested solutions for conflict prevention and reconciliation.
UNESCO offer a unique platform for international cooperation and dialogue, fostering mutual respect, appreciation and understanding. These legal instruments support the development of national policies for heritage protection, with an emphasis on preservation, management and training.

Culture is one of the most important factors in preserving the existence and integrity of a nation. It is composed of culture, language, religion, history unity and consciousness.
Nevertheless, the cultural accumulation which is continuing in the historical course is transferred from generation to generation, and it has permanent, moral, legal and historical effects.
In my opinion we can only protect these values with education

Cultural heritage is a testimony and expression of the values, beliefs, knowledge and traditions that have resulted over time from the interaction of human factors with those of nature. It is in a continuous evolution and contributes fundamentally to human development and the increase of the quality of collective life. In fact, cultural heritage delights and inspires old and new generations on their journey to knowledge. So it is a treasure that must be protected as such.

This area is an essential resource for Romania's identity and the development of a society of peace and stability, based on respect for human rights, democracy and the rule of law. Active participation and modern management of this strategic resource adds to the community plus economic, social and cultural value. The solution for keeping the patrimony built funding programs could be of some restoration projects in agreement with legislation.
