Advocacy and Partnership Strategy

Besides researching innovative adaptive reuse experiences, Open Heritage also aims at advocating new models for more inclusive and community-oriented spaces. The ambition of OH's Advocacy and Partnership Strategy is to make these new models visible for a variety of stakeholders and decision-makers, as well as to create new financial and policy instruments locally, nationally and at the EU level to accommodate community-led adaptive reuse. This requires designing policy proposals and getting on board financial institutions of various kinds, from ethical banks and foundations to EU institutions and investment banks. To achieve this goal, the OH Financial Task Force has been engaged in developing partnerships with key stakeholders across the European heritage and finance spectrum.
