The online event will be followed by an internal workshop with experts in which integrated approaches to handle, employ and manage Dissonant Heritage sites in Europe will be discussed and further developed. The workshop’s results will create an important base for a toolkit for different stakeholders dealing with the heritage, and it will greatly help us to develop recommendations for the EU, member states and municipalities.”

Further, an online networking event reflecting the results of the Action and the workshop and culminating in a toolkit for Integrated Approaches to Dissonant Heritage, will take place on 24th and 25th November 2021.
