Multi-dimensional and cross-territorial governance model for activation of the World War I heritage to foster sustainable socio-economic development of remote territories of Central Europe

Central Europe has a vast cultural heritage related to World War I with significant potential to accelerate socio-economic development in rural areas. However, the joint management of this heritage remains challenging as it is dispersed across various countries and lacks a cohesive strategy for preservation and utilisation. The GOV4PeaCE project establishes a joint vision for managing the war-related cultural heritage across borders and sectors. The project tests innovative approaches to museum concepts, cross-border heritage routes, and intersectoral cooperation to make better use of the past heritage for future development.
