The Young European Heritage Makers Competition invites children and high school students to explore their surroundings, learn about their local tangible and intangible cultural heritage and share a story about Europe. This initiative enhances young people’s understanding of the concept of heritage and its relevance to local communities.
People from 6 countries expressed their vision of heritage through more than 60 testimonies. The list of countries included Finland, Italy, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Slovenia and Spain
After a first selection at national level in 2 age categories, a European panel of judges evaluated the shortlisted projects. This chose 8 winners based on the relevance, quality and creativity of their heritage-awareness raising projects.
