The European Heritage Policy Agora “FROM THE NEW EUROPEAN BAUHAUS TO THE NEW EUROPEAN RENAISSANCE ” Organised in the frame of the European Cultural Heritage Summit in Venice (21-24 September), the European Heritage Policy Agora “From the New European Bauhaus to the New European Renaissance” brings together policy makers at all levels as well as key heritage stakeholders in a series of high-level debates on the most topical issues for the cultural heritage ecosystem in Europe. As Europe seeks to build back better in the post-pandemic future, the Policy Agora will address the following crucial questions: what could we envisage for this new chapter of our shared European history? How can Europe fulfil its promise if we do not reinvent and redesign the very basis of the European project and come up with innovative and bold solutions for a better and more sustainable future together? A common answer and solution is, first and foremost, to put our shared cultural heritage where it belongs – at the very heart of the entire European project. The Policy Agora is a contribution to the New European Bauhaus , of which Europa Nostra is a proud civil society partner. It is based on the firm conviction that, while we jointly promote a New European Bauhaus, we also ought to aspire to a New European Renaissance: one shall indeed lead to the other. The Policy Agora also coincides with and contributes to another citizen-driven initiative launched by the EU institutions, namely the Conference on the Future of Europe . It is Europa Nostra’s response to the call for organising citizens’ debates on the future of Europe in heritage sites issued in association with the European Heritage Alliance on 9 May 2021 - Europe Day. Aiming at connecting these various initiatives, the Policy 3

Agora is a fitting occasion to discuss and demonstrate the role of cultural heritage in achieving all the policy priorities of the EU - from social cohesion to sustainable development and climate action, and from the protection of fundamental values to enhancing Europe’s role in the world. The Agora is grounded on the key messages included in numerous calls and positions papers issued by Europa Nostra and its partners since 2020, in particular: • The European Heritage Alliance Manifesto “Cultural Heritage: a powerful catalyst for the future of Europe” published on 9 May 2020; • The joint statement “Cultural Deal for Europe: A central place for culture in the EU’s post-pandemic future” published on 25 November 2020 by Europa Nostra, the European Cultural Foundation and Culture Action Europe; • The essay “Togetherness: A New Heritage Deal for Europe” by Prof. Dr Hermann Parzinger, Executive President of Europa Nostra, published by the European Investment Bank in December 2020, and • The European Cultural Heritage Green Paper “Putting Europe’s shared Heritage at the heart of the European Green Deal” , published on 22 March 2021 by Europa Nostra in cooperation with ICOMOS, the Climate Heritage Network and with the support of the European Investment Bank Institute. The Agora also draws inspiration from the historic Rome adopted on 30 July by the G20 Ministers of Declaration Culture under the Italian Presidency of G20 and the motto “Culture unites the World”. As stated in a related public statement of endorsement Europa Nostra is determined to build the necessary bridges and synergies between the G20 ministerial meeting on Culture, the Venice Summit, and the key policy priorities and programmes of the EU in relation to cultural heritage. 4

The Agora will also send a strong message on cultural heritage as a key resource for climate action both to the pre-COP26 to be held in Milan (1-2 October) and the COP26 conference to be held in Glasgow (November) to make sure that culture and heritage are duly included in the wider climate and sustainability frameworks at European level but also internationally. It is high time to turn the above-mentioned policy momentum and achievements into a convergent narrative and joint action to unleash the potential of cultural heritage for our society, economy and the environment. The debate shall put forward concrete proposals to shift from a sectorial to a holistic perspective, where culture and heritage are considered powerful elements to achieve all of Europe’s key priorities. This shall help in turn to define a renewed humanistic vision for Europe, in line with the core values enshrined in the Lisbon Treaty, and to ensure a stronger and better positioning of Europe on the world scene.

HOSTING PARTNER GIORGIO CINI FOUNDATION The Fondazione Giorgio Cini was established by Count Vittorio Cini, in memory of his son Giorgio in April 1951 on the Island of San Giorgio Maggiore, Venice. Count Cini’s aim was to restore the ex-Benedictine monastery and the wider Island of San Giorgio Maggiore, and to create an international cultural centre that would re-integrate the island into the life of Venice. During its 70 years of history, the Fondazione has promoted countless social, cultural and artistic activities in a constant dialogue with other institutions and important representatives of Italian and international cultures. Today, the Fondazione is an internationally recognised cultural institution which continues to draw inspiration from its original vocation as a centre for the training of young Venetians, while at the same time playing a leading role as a center for studies and a venue for meetings and debates on contemporary issues. The Fondazione hosts exhibitions, research activities, study meetings and seminars, training and specialization courses in its artistic and monumental setting that includes masterpieces by Palladio and Longhena. The island is home to six academic institutes and two centres for study, as well as the ARCHiVe Center for Analysis and Recordings of Cultural Heritage in Venice, a research laboratory on new technologies applied to digitization, preservation and enhancement of cultural heritage. https://www.cini.it/en

EUROPEAN CULTURAL HERITAGE SUMMIT 2021 PARTNERS

THE BORDERLESS EUROPEAN WINE: A SYMBOL IS BORN Highlighting the different specificities of the European Terroir and bringing together in a single vintage the different talents of winegrowers across Europe, initiated the OENOPE project. The Borderless European Wine by OENOPE is first of all a solidarity project in front of globalization, climate changes and health crisis. It is about creating a link between European winegrowers, to promote their know-how, their terroirs and their cultures echoing the motto of the European Union: “United in Diversity”. This symbol awakens us to discover the nuances and treasures that make European vineyards a heritage of humanity. Orchestrated by an oenologist who guarantees the most demanding criteria for grape varieties selection and vinification, this cuvée faithfully expresses the intrinsic characteristics of each vineyard involved. The Borderless European Wine by OENOPE was selected and awarded by the European Cultural Foundation in September 2020 in Amsterdam. It meets the criteria of the Foundation seeking imaginative cultural initiatives dealing with the aftereffects of the pandemic for European societies by proposing forward-looking solutions and by creating transnational alliances and pan-European solidarity initiatives. With this first cuvée, enjoy a unique sensory experience by tasting two wines of great personality from this exceptional terroir and share this European solidarity sentiment. info@oenope.com www.oenope.com instagram: oenope_wine facebook: oenope 62
