An important milestone for youth engagement in Europe’s cultural heritage landscape.
Youth.Heritage.Europe, together with Europa Nostra — Project Leader of the European Heritage Hub — is proud to announce the NextGen Heritage Ambassadors (NGHA).
Following a highly competitive selection process with more than 300 applicants, 12 exceptional young professionals and students from across Europe have been selected to join this newly established advisory group. The NGHA places young voices at the heart of the European Heritage Hub, ensuring that emerging perspectives actively shape the future of Europe’s cultural heritage.
Over the next two years, the NextGen Heritage Ambassadors will act as youth advisors, advocates, and co-creators, bringing fresh ideas, creativity, and energy into strategic discussions. Their work will focus on key challenges and opportunities facing the heritage sector today — from climate change and social justice to digitalisation, participation, and intergenerational dialogue.
Chaired and coordinated by Youth.Heritage.Europe, with the support of Europa Nostra, the NGHA complements the work of the Advisory Council by strengthening the Hub’s commitment to youth engagement, innovation, and long-term sustainability.
We invite you to discover the 12 NextGen Heritage Ambassadors and learn more about the inspiring individuals behind this initiative — the voices shaping what comes next for Europe’s cultural heritage!
