The aim of the panel is to discuss how the long-term management of cultural heritage can be strengthened through the active involvement of local communities and various stakeholders, moving beyond a model in which decisions are left predominantly to institutions. The Strategy places particular emphasis on the involvement of communities, civil society, cultural and economic operators, educational institutions and other stakeholders in the processes of interpretation, planning, reuse and management of heritage.
