First Bi-annual Call on Common Cultural Activities

We are pleased to announce the ‘First Bi-annual Calls on Common Cultural Activities’ for T4EU culture and heritage, aimed at celebrating and promoting the rich tapestry of Sustainable Common European Heritage through engaging cultural and educational events.

Transform4Europe – T4EU aims at becoming one integrated European University based on shared European values, a diverse and inclusive alliance deeply rooted in the respective regional ecosystems, educating and training knowledge entrepreneurs as drivers of transformation for the benefit of sustainable and resilient European societies.

Sustainable Common European Heritage refers to the diversity of the collective cultural, historical, and social legacy shared across Europe. A common background is essential for Sustainable Common European Heritage as it promotes unity, inclusivity, a common identity formation, peace, reconciliation, and European integration. It emphasises both the shared historical experiences and the rich diversity of cultures that make up Europe. It serves as a foundational narrative fostering a sense of belonging and identity within Europe and beyond, providing a rationale for the formation and supporting various regional and international initiatives. This initiative is part of the T4EU culture and heritage programme.

We seek proposals that recognise the multifaceted nature of heritage, viewing it not only as a conservation effort or aesthetic pursuit but also as a dynamic tool for shaping present and future identities and fostering sustainable development within the EU. Additionally, we aim to develop Common Cultural Activities encouraging active participation in public engagement and academic knowledge sharing. Through collaboration and exchange, these activities will enhance understanding and appreciation of Common European Heritage.

We welcome proposals from T4EU members and those involving cultural organisations, heritage institutions, community groups, and other entities actively engaged in promoting European culture and heritage. Collaborative proposals involving partnerships among more universities of the T4EU Alliance, along with their regional stakeholders, are particularly encouraged. We encourage the involvement of student groups in the creation/implementation/dissemination of the activities in order to enhance intergenerational connections as well as transnational exchanges among the students of the Alliance.
