Cultural Heritage, Advocacy and Sustainability Projects

Find out more about the cultural heritage and advocacy projects which Balkan Heritage Foundation is currently participating in here.

As part of our advocacy and service activities, Balkan Heritage Foundation regularly works with like minded partners throughout Europe to promote and develop cultural heritage related programs.

In 2024, we are proud to be part of several projects which aim to help South Eastern European communities showcase their heritage, and build sustainable solutions hand in hand with local partners.

Our two main projects this year are TOURAL Project and BCT Hubs, both of which run over several years and are funded by the European Union as part of the Horizon Europe Program.
