Serfenta in Bucharest
We also want to thank the Europa Nostra Heritage Hub in Krakow and the International Cultural Centre in Krakow for their support on-site, as well as the European Commission in Poland. The ceremony was attended by numerous guests, including representatives of the European Commission, Europa Nostra, and experts in cultural heritage from across Europe.
The awards were also presented by Professor Jacek Purchla, Vice President of Europa Nostra and Chair of the Jury, alongside the European Commissioner. It was a beautiful and emotional evening. ❤️ You can see the award on display at Srebrna Street in Cieszyn, right next to our headquarters.
Excellence Heritage Day
We thank Europa Nostra for taking the time to listen to the 28 presentations from all the award winners. It was truly inspiring!
We presented our award-winning Craft Revitalization Model on stage, and we had just 5 minutes to share all the important aspects of our ideas and work.
We would also like to thank the Adam Mickiewicz Institute and the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, who provided financial support for our trip to Bucharest ❤️.
