School of European Heritage and Cultural Impact

This term refers to the totality of material and immaterial goods, inherited from the past, which define the cultural identity of European communities. This includes historical monuments, archaeological sites, oral traditions, social practices, rituals, traditional knowledge, and artistic expressions, recognized as having exceptional value for the present and future.

Social impact is analyzed through qualitative and quantitative methods, including case studies, interviews with local communities, analysis of social cohesion, education, and sustainable development indicators. Our documentation highlights the link between heritage conservation and the improvement of quality of life, collective identity, and intercultural dialogue.

The platform relies on archival documents, peer-reviewed academic publications, reports from international organizations (UNESCO, Council of Europe), as well as proprietary field research. All comparisons between regions and eras are based on verifiable data and precise historical contexts.

In our context, the terms are used interchangeably for linguistic accessibility. However, in specialized literature, "heritage" may have a more institutional and management connotation, while "legacy" refers more to the transmission of values and meanings from one generation to another.

The main purpose is educational and informative. We present comparative analyses and detailed documentation to understand phenomena. Any observations regarding good practices or conservation challenges serve to illustrate the case study and do not constitute political or administrative consultancy.
