Young European Heritage Makers is a competition for children and young people to encourage exploration, discovery and expression of their heritage!
 

Children are the future of heritage protection and promotion, and we want to learn how they understand cultural heritage, collect and highlight their work, and connect future #HeritageMakers with each other. After taking part in activities and mentoring, groups of young people can enter the competition by creating a video or visualisation showing their interpretation and articulation of an aspect of heritage which is important to them.
 

The competition asks:

• “What does heritage mean to you?”
• “What’s unique to your local heritage; what’s shared across Europe?”
• “How can we present our heritage stories in pictures and words?”

The competition is being run by European Heritage Days – the largest celebration of cultural events in Europe – and will culminate in special exhibition at the Council of Europe in Strasbourg.
