The 30 winners were selected by the Jury<\/a>, composed of heritage experts from across Europe, upon evaluation by the Selection Committee<\/a>s that are responsible for examining award applications, which this year were submitted by organisations and individuals from 35 European countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cecilia Bartoli, the world-renowned mezzo-soprano and President of Europa Nostra, stated: \u201cI warmly congratulate this year\u2019s winners of the European Heritage Awards \/ Europa Nostra Awards on their well-deserved recognition. They are inspiring examples which truly contribute to building a more beautiful, sustainable and inclusive Europe. Their success stories demonstrate how adversity can be overcome through pooling expertise, dedication, creativity and innovation. I look forward to meeting them in person and celebrating all the winners at the European Heritage Awards Ceremony in our beloved World Heritage City of Venice\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The winners will be celebrated at the European Heritage Awards Ceremony on 28 September in the Palazzo del Cinema<\/a> in Venice.

The platform’s multifaceted approach encompasses research, mapping and the archiving of local crafts, as well as collaborative co-creation programmes and participatory knowledge exchange initiatives. MADE IN promotes the invaluable role of crafts in shaping local identities and ensuring the sustainability of communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Conceived in 2014 by the OAZA Art Organisation in response to the decline of small crafts and workshops in Zagreb, MADE IN made its debut during the 24th Biennial of Design (BIO 50) in Ljubljana, organised by the Museum of Architecture and Design (MAO). This initial exploration laid the foundation for a partnership among six organisations: OAZA, the Museum of Arts and Crafts in Zagreb (Croatia), the Museum of Architecture and Design in Ljubljana (Slovenia), the craft and trade association Werkraum Bregenzerwald (Austria), Nova Iskra and Mikser (Serbia).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Funded through the Creative Europe Small Cooperation Programme, MADE IN spanned from 2018 to 2021. Additional support from public and private sources in four countries, including ministries of culture, the Dutch Embassy in Croatia, Centre for Creativity in Slovenia and various other foundations contributed to its success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n By addressing critical themes such as nanotourism, sustainability, materials, resources and communities, the project generated insights that align with the priorities of the European Commission, including the European Green Deal, A Europe Fit for the Digital Age and the New European Bauhaus. The project yielded various outcomes including the creation of new products, a book, a website, and a travelling exhibition. The project’s pioneering initiative, “Crafts and Design Narratives”, showcased the mapping of craftspeople in the region and facilitated invaluable knowledge exchange between craftspeople and designers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n MADE IN stands as a testament to the power of collaboration and its potential to bridge traditional crafts with contemporary design, nurturing a vibrant ecosystem of creativity and heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThrough the effective utilisation of digital technology, the MADE IN project skilfully showcases the intangible heritage of evolving craft skills. The website, thoughtfully designed and easily navigable, offers a wealth of engaging information. However, the project goes beyond being just a digital tool as it fosters connections between craftspeople and contemporary designers. The emphasis is on the continuation and evolution of these time-honoured traditions, ensuring their relevance for future generations. With a long-term vision and a strong drive to expand its reach, this relatively new network is poised for growth, reflecting its progressive and innovative approach to the intersection of art, crafts and design\u201d, the Awards\u2019 Jury stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis pan-European project highlights the common threads of our shared craft heritage while embracing a regional flavour through close collaboration with local communities. The intergenerational aspect of the project is notable, bringing together young designers and seasoned craft practitioners. This creates a vital connection between heritage and the creative industries, addressing timely social and commercial changes and offering opportunities for sustainable growth\u201d, the Jury added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From Norway to Portugal, from France to Ukraine: these are the winners of the European Heritage Awards \/ Europa Nostra Awards 2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n Conservation & Adaptive Reuse<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Steam Engine Brewery, Lobe\u010d, CZECHIA<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Friluftsskolen Open-Air School, Copenhagen, DENMARK<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n H\u00f4tel de la Marine, Paris, FRANCE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Royal Gardens of Venice, ITALY<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Museum of Urban Wooden Architecture, Vilnius, LITHUANIA<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Wit Stwosz Altarpiece in St. Mary\u2019s Basilica, Krak\u00f3w, POLAND<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Mud\u00e9jar Ceilings of the Cathedral of Funchal, Madeira, PORTUGAL<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Deba Bridge, Gipuzkoa, SPAIN<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Ruins of the Monastery of San Pedro de Eslonza, Gradefes, SPAIN<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Scientific-Archaeological Studies for the Preservation of Ererouyk, ARMENIA\/FRANCE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Proto-Industrial Architecture of the Veneto in the Age of Palladio, ITALY<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Safeguarding of the Artisanal Fishing Technique \u201cArte-X\u00e1vega\u201d, PORTUGAL<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Education, Training & Skills<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n MADE IN: Crafts and Design Narratives, AUSTRIA\/CROATIA\/SLOVENIA\/SERBIA<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n ACTA VISTA, Marseille, FRANCE<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Carpenters without Borders, Paris, FRANCE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n National Centres for Restoration of Historic Vessels, NORWAY<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Pathfinders of the Waters, Danube Delta, ROMANIA<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Citizens\u2019 Engagement & Awareness-raising<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Village Square Meer, Antwerp, BELGIUM<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Budapest100, HUNGARY<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Museum of Literature Ireland (MoLI), Dublin, IRELAND<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Open for You, ITALY<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n ALMADA Project, Lisbon, PORTUGAL<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Via Transilvanica, ROMANIA<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Un-archiving Post-industry, UKRAINE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Heritage Champions<\/strong><\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n Hambis Tsangaris, CYPRUS<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sergio Ragni, ITALY<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Cl\u00e1udio Torres, PORTUGAL<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Saving Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Online (SUCHO), UKRAINE\/INTERNATIONAL PROJECT<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Europa Nostra Awards 2023 for outstanding projects from the UK\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n This year, Europa Nostra Awards go to two remarkable heritage projects from a European country not taking part in the EU Creative Europe programme.\r\n\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cleveland Pools, Bath, UNITED KINGDOM<\/a> (Conservation & Adaptive Reuse)<\/p>\n\n\n\n MINIARE: The Art & Science of Manuscript Heritage, Cambridge, UNITED KINGDOM<\/a> (Research)<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Two decades of showcasing heritage-related excellence in Europe<\/p>\n\n\n\n The European Heritage Awards \/ Europa Nostra Awards<\/a> were launched by the European Commission in 2002 and have been run by Europa Nostra ever since.

The Awards have brought major benefits to the winners, such as greater (inter)national exposure, additional funding and increased visitor numbers. In addition, the Awards have championed a greater care for our shared heritage amongst Europe\u2019s citizens.
