Kraków Heritage Hub

About us

Europa Nostra Heritage Hub for Central and Eastern Europe in Kraków is a regional centre of Europa Nostra, a pan-European federation of organisations involved in the protection, management, and promotion of cultural and natural heritage in forty European countries. It is run by one of the oldest non-governmental organisations in Poland, the Society of Friends of Kraków History and Heritage (Towarzystwo Miłośników Historii i Zabytków Krakowa), member of Europa Nostra since 1990. The hub operates as a think-tank, an observatory, and a laboratory. As a platform, we strengthen the voice of NGOs from Central and Eastern Europe in shaping European heritage policy. We facilitate cooperation between civic organisations and heritage institutions in the region. We increase the visibility of activities supporting heritage in the region. We deal with various aspects of cultural and natural heritage, both in and away from cities, through major projects and small initiatives. Our main areas of interest: - Historic city and resilience - Heritage participation - Heritage in the Anthropocene - Heritage for well-being and health
