Culture strengthens the common European identity
Since 2011, the European Union has been awarding the European Heritage Label (EHL) to European cultural monuments, cultural landscapes, cultural sites, and memorials. Sites eligible for this distinction are those that symbolically and exemplarily represent European integration as well as the ideals and history of Europe or the European Union and express this significance through appropriate activities.
The aim of the initiative is to strengthen the sense of belonging of European citizens to the EU and its shared values and to facilitate access to European cultural heritage. A video explains this in detail.
