The third Italian edition of the Young European Heritage Makers Competition, competition promoted by the Council of Europe and coordinated in Italy by Directorate-General of Museums of the Ministry of Culture, which aims to bring the younger segments of the population closer to cultural heritage, encouraging active, exploratory and cognitive use of it.

The project is in fact aimed at children and young people of school age from the countries participating in the European Heritage Days (EHD), who will be able to tell through images an emotion or an experience connected to the cultural heritage of their territory, explaining what its meaning is for the community of reference and the connection with the European context. The work can be an image accompanied by a short descriptive text or a video of maximum 5 minutes. Participation is divided into two age groups: children aged between 6 and 11 years and girls aged between 11 and 17 years.

The two projects selected in Italy will access the European selection in February: the winning projects among the participating countries will be announced in March 2025. The group of winners for the 11-17 category will be awarded with a visit to Strasbourg organized by the Council of Europe in May 2025.

The deadline to participate is December 31, 2024. Click here for all the details
