Our friends from  NGO “Tačka komunikacija” are organizing a new cycle of joint research and city mapping. This program “Map as a Media” is gathering visual artist and practitioners. The idea is to examine our relations that we are creating with surroundings on a daily level through three different spotlights.

About: Bridges physically and symbolically connect places, communities and cultures; they remind us of division while at the same time providing the means for unification. This conference seeks to explore heritage of bridges –not only as remarkable physical structures connecting places and cultures but also as symbolic and metaphorical markers in the landscape.

The 12th SEE Heritage Meeting was organised in Tirana, Albania between 9th and 11th December 2016.

Member organisations presented their work, good practices, ideas... Good discussions were opened. Nevertheless, during these talks many challenges opened, and a lot of debates what should be done in the upcoming 2017. The report from this meeting is available here.

There are a lot of things to be done. The ambition is there and to achieve those goals a bit of courage, cleverness, wittiness and mutual effort is going to be needed.

So let us be united in 2017!

Every year something new comes and it is good to plan things in advance because time flies. Time is important, but also is our mutual heritage that can lead us to the better future.

Thanks to SEE Heritage followers, 2017 calendar is ready and we hope that it will look good on desks, tables, shelves…

Collecting photos for the calendar was a great pleasure. Deep appreciation to all the people of good taste and will who participated in the contest for the twelve best 2017 photographs. Unfortunately we were not able to include all received photos to 2017 calendar, but some are appearing as cover photos on this web page.
