Back Heritage Community Network: multiple locations and citizens’ participation

Heritage Community Network: multiple locations and citizens’ participation

Sea and water have been important for Naples and its citizens through the centuries. Academic experts

from Federico II University and CNR-IRISS researchers together with the city’s citizens are now creating

a network of people and sites – such as aqueducts and fountains – to enhance the role of sweet and salty

waters in Naples’ urban fabric. They met on 1 October 1922 at the National Archeological Museum (MANN) within the framework of Naples Shipping week. Their aim is to create a sort of multiple locations museum,

a network of cultural sites linked to the theme of water. Luisella Pavan Woolfe, director of the Italian Office

of the Council of Europe participated to the event that was moderated by Daniela Savy, Scientific

Responsible for the Research Area "European Law, Management and International Circulation of Cultural Heritage" of the University of Naples Federico II.

Welcome to the Council of Europe Programme Office in Venice

 

I would like to welcome you to the website of the Programme Office of the Council of Europe in Venice. The Programme Office supports Headquarters in the organisation of activities that span from culture and cultural heritage to training on human rights and democracy. I kindly invite you to surf through our website. Here you will find information on our past and present activities, news and articles about the Office and the Council of Europe. Venice is actively involved in Council of Europe activities. Venice is a member of the Council of Europe Intercultural Cities Network. The network supports cities in reviewing their policies through an intercultural lens and developing comprehensive strategies to help them manage diversity positively. Venice is also one of the four Faro Convention laboratories in Europe. Here the Council of Europe is testing how civil society and local authorities put into practice this relatively young Convention on democratic participation to cultural heritage. Venice participates in the Jewish Heritage Route. This important European cultural route certified by the Council of Europe, goes through the city and stops at its 500 years old ghetto and historic Jewish cemetery. In other words, Venice is a workshop and a test site for significant Council of Europe policies and programmes. Furthermore, the European Commission for Democracy through Law - better known as the Venice Commission, as it meets in Venice - is the Council of Europe's advisory body on constitutional matters.
