Description du projet
Le patrimoine culturel européen encourage le dialogue international et la diplomatie
Le patrimoine culturel européen constitue une ressource précieuse pour le développement durable et contribue à améliorer les relations de l’Europe avec les autres parties du monde. Le projet ILUCIDARE, financé par l’UE, a classé et défini «l’innovation axée sur le patrimoine» mais aussi «l’assimilation du patrimoine culturel dans l’innovation» et «le patrimoine en tant que ressource pour l’innovation». L’étude du «patrimoine dans la diplomatie», de la «diplomatie axée sur le patrimoine» et du «patrimoine commun» a révélé comment le patrimoine agit en tant qu’ambassadeur susceptible d’améliorer la compréhension, la diplomatie et les relations internationales. ILUCIDARE a co-créé des outils destinés à une communauté internationale d’experts du patrimoine et aux communautés locales. Il a généré un impact considérable au niveau local tout en améliorant et en validant des outils destinés à mieux protéger et promouvoir le patrimoine culturel en tant que ressource, en tirant parti de sa valeur en tant qu’outil d’innovation et en améliorant les relations avec d’autres parties du monde.
Objectif
ILUCIDARE is a three and a half year project to promote and leverage heritage-led innovation and international relations through the creation and activation of an international community of heritage practitioners in Europe and beyond, while strongly contributing to the overall objectives of the communication Towards an EU strategy for international cultural relations (JOIN/2016/029) and EU international cooperation in research and innovation (COM(2012)497). ILUCIDARE refers to both “elucidare”, aiming to provide a common definition of CH-led innovation and international relations, and “lucidare”, aiming to raise awareness, provide assistance, leverage and upscale CH-led innovation and international relations on a global scale. ILUCIDARE opts to tie its activities to strong established networks rather than just creating a new isolated project with little or no impact. The project will enable the exchanges of best practices, knowledge transfer, skills development and cross-fertilisation within its global network through an extensive use of digital engagement strategies and tools as well as participatory activities including focus groups and co-creation ateliers, 3 high-level international conferences – aka Playgrounds, 5 international competitions (including 4 ILUCIDARE special EU Prizes for Cultural Heritage / Europa Nostra awards), online training by means of a Youtube Learning Channel with community manager, 2 academic training courses, and onsite capacity buildings in 11 capacity buildings in 10 countries in Europe, the Western Balkans, South America, Middle East and Africa. The strong international component of ILUCIDARE activities will allow to foster intercultural dialogue and effectively improve EU external relations through cultural heritage diplomacy. Based on continuous exchanges facilitated by a special appointed Community Manager, ILUCIDARE will act as an hub for heritage-led innovative solutions and will support spill-overs and sustainable development collaborations to better preserve and promote heritage, especially where it is at risk.
