In ouRoute, we highlighted how the safeguarding of tangible and intangible Cultural Heritage has become a priority in our countries and a joint commitment for all: schools, local authorities and municipalities, professionals, associations etc.  Additionally, there is a new awareness of the fact that culture is a shared resource, a common resource for the citizenships and it’s often in modern societies a combination of more cultures, so to give expression to interculturalism and cultural integration.

From the analysis of the good practices in ouRoute, we can affirm that the involvement of citizens in the design and promotion of their territory give them a better opportunity to be active citizens and meet their needs adjusting to their cultural values.

At the same time, the promotion of the cultural identity enhances the social cohesion and the sense of belonging to a community. That’s why ouRoute project sensitizes local communities and in particular young people to the preservation of Cultural Heritage as part of our individual and collective identity.
