The conference affirmed that museums indeed create different kinds of values to other sectors such as the social, tourism and health sector and should be fully acknowledged and given increased support to encourage those collaborations across sectors, and supports the concept of mainstreaming heritage becoming a reality across EU, national, local and regional levels.
The conference also built on the legacy of the European Year of Cultural Heritage by showcasing projects that had received the EYCH 2018 label and European Commissioner Tibor Navracsics stressed that the legacy of the year will live on and that culture is not only a community activity, but that culture also has an impact on social and economic sectors as well as an important international dimension.
