Η&Μ, Ηeritage & Museums Οnline Awards Ceremony

This year we are celebrating the “European Days of Cultural Heritage” in an unprecedented spirit, due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The European Commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth, Ms. Mariya Gabriel, stated that “this year, in addition to events with physical attendance, the European Days of Cultural Heritage offer an excellent range of digital content from Europe’s Cultural Reserve.

As known, the pandemic has disrupted the traditional way of working and acting in the field of Culture and has shown now more than ever how important the digital transformation of Cultural Heritage Institutions is.

At the same time, Ms. Gabriel noted emphatically, based on this year’s thematic title “European Days of Cultural Heritage and Education” that the future of Europe is digital, and that in order to preserve the memory of Europe’s Cultural Heritage, experiences must be exchanged. Also, that, to aquire the knowledge about the European Union during the school period “It is not a Luxury, It is a Necessity”.
