Financing impact on regional development of cultural heritage valorisation

Programme 2014 - 2020 Interreg Europe

Date of latest update: 2023-12-02

Description

Description (EN):

Cultural heritage is a shared resource and a common good. Like other such goods it can be vulnerable to over-exploitation and under-funding, which can result in neglect, decay and, in some cases, oblivion. Looking after our heritage is, therefore, our common responsibility. Protection of cultural heritage in the face of global change is thus becoming a major concern for decision-makers, stakeholders and citizens in Europe. Financing investments in heritage has a direct impact on growth and a considerable potential for creating new jobs, which leads to long-term social and economic benefits. The EU's cohesion policies can be instrumental in promoting the valorisation of cultural heritage, that’s why seven European regions have decided to join their efforts to face the challenge of conservation, restoration, valorisation and management of cultural heritage with the involvement of private actors. This will allow to enhance cultural heritage exploitation while also assuring itsconservation in a dynamic and productive perspective, attracting and incubating new activities, revitalising already existing ones, improving people general wellness and assuring environmental sustainability. FINCH project will help partner regions in improving their policies in this field. It will support the implementation of light financial instruments targeted to private actors and Public-Private Partnerships to enable local and regional policies move towards more sustainable models of cultural heritage valorization. The project will benefit from the diversity of approaches and experiences within the partnership, through a policy learning process based on exchange of practices and experiences; overcome the gaps among partners, through transfer of knowledge and mutual learning; jointly elaborate and implement Regional Action Plans which will have long lasting economic and social impact on cultural heritage valorisation activities in all partner regions.

Achievements (EN): In terms of activities, the project has organised a total of 41 policy learning events. It has also identified 14 good practices, produced 6 action plans and led to the increased capacity of 65 people.

Expected Results (EN):

The overall project obj. is to increase the economic and social impact of cultural heritage valorisation activities by improving related policies and facilitating the involvement of private actors (mainly no-profit oriented or young entrepreneurs) in the conservation, restoration, valorisation and management of cultural heritage, through partnership between public and private sector and with financial instruments support. The involvement of private actors allows to enhance cultural heritage exploitation while also assuring their conservation in a dynamic and productive perspective, attracting and incubating new activities, revitalising already existing ones, improving people general wellness, and assuring environmental sustainability. The project will thus support the implementation of light financial instruments targeted to private actors (as micro loans or loans with public guarantee, crowdfunding, revolving funds and building preservation trusts) and Public-Private Partnerships to enable local and regional policies move towards a sustainable model of cultural heritage valorisation to be included in regional action plans. Specific objectives of the project are: - to support public authorities in increasing available resources for investments in cultural heritage conservation, protection and exploitation (through methodological tools to define and adopt light financial instruments); - to create more favorable regional framework conditions to strengthen the partnership with the private sector in the field of in the conservation, restoration, valorization and management of cultural heritage; - to strengthen the role of all relevant stakeholders, enabling the adoption of Regional Action Plans for regional policies improvement and awareness raising among politicians and policymakers.
