The Directorate for Cultural Heritage is a partner of the EEA and Norway Grants, and has a responsibility to inform the Norwegian cultural heritage sector about the opportunities that can be found in the EEA and Norway Grants. Also, to provide guidance to Norwegian actors participating in cultural heritage projects.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner]<div class=\"infobox tuftbush\"><p>Currently, there are seven countries that choose to prioritise cultural heritage and the Directorate for Cultural Heritage is a programme partner regarding all of the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Estonia<\/li>\n<li>Lithuania<\/li>\n<li>Poland<\/li>\n<li>Czech Republic<\/li>\n<li>Slovakia<\/li>\n<li>Romania<\/li>\n<li>Portugal<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>Why cultural heritage?<\/h2>\n<p>There are several reasons why most countries that receive EEA and Norway Grants choose to prioritise cultural heritage.<\/p>\n<p>Cultural heritage is an important resource for local and regional development. Cultural heritage projects, such as the reparation and maintenance of cultural heritage monuments and sites, can create jobs and contribute to increased tourism and beneficial business conditions. They also create social meeting places. The effect is particularly noticed in rural areas, which are often characterised by depopulation and unemployment.<\/p>\n<p>Most countries that receive EEA and Norway Grants have large minority groups that possess valuable cultural heritage that they are proud of and that is important to safeguard. Highlighting minorities\u2019 cultural heritage can also help to strengthen their place in the national community.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>What type of activities are supported?<\/h2>\n<p>All activities that receive funding must directly or indirectly contribute to the first objective of the EEA and Norway Grants: to reduce social and economic disparities in Europe. Apart from that, there are few limitations as to what the grants may be used for. The cultural heritage projects are often related to the following topics:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Management, conservation and restoration of cultural heritage<\/li>\n<li>Intangible cultural heritage<\/li>\n<li>Revitalisation of cultural heritage<\/li>\n<li>Documentation and accessibility of cultural heritage<\/li>\n<li>Dissemination and exhibitions<\/li>\n<li>Capacity building for cultural heritage actors<\/li>\n<li>Developing wider audiences and teaching activities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner]\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"standard-image \">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"gallery\" href=\"#image-48606\" title=\"\u00c5pne stort bilde i felles bildegalleri\" data-gallery=\"48606\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" src=\"https:\/\/riksantikvaren.no\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/YoungGuardians-23_IngridAas-scaled-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/riksantikvaren.no\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/YoungGuardians-23_IngridAas-scaled-1.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/riksantikvaren.no\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/YoungGuardians-23_IngridAas-scaled-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/riksantikvaren.no\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/YoungGuardians-23_IngridAas-scaled-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/riksantikvaren.no\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/YoungGuardians-23_IngridAas-scaled-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/riksantikvaren.no\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/YoungGuardians-23_IngridAas-scaled-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/riksantikvaren.no\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/YoungGuardians-23_IngridAas-scaled-1-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/riksantikvaren.no\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/YoungGuardians-23_IngridAas-scaled-1-320x213.jpg 320w, https:\/\/riksantikvaren.no\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/YoungGuardians-23_IngridAas-scaled-1-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/riksantikvaren.no\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/YoungGuardians-23_IngridAas-scaled-1-576x384.jpg 576w, https:\/\/riksantikvaren.no\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/YoungGuardians-23_IngridAas-scaled-1-992x661.jpg 992w, https:\/\/riksantikvaren.no\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/YoungGuardians-23_IngridAas-scaled-1-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/riksantikvaren.no\/content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/YoungGuardians-23_IngridAas-scaled-1-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" title=\"\"><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption><strong>Young Guardians of Heritage<\/strong> The Heritage House in Slovenia received support from the EEA funds to create a model for the transfer of traditional craft techniques from the older to younger generations.

The Directorate for Cultural Heritage also informs the Norwegian cultural heritage sector about the grants and assists and provides guidance to Norwegian actors who participate in project collaboration.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the Directorate for Cultural Heritage sometimes participates as a partner in EEA projects. During the previous period, the Directorate for Cultural Heritage participated in six projects funded by EEA and Norway Grants, and it will participate in a similar number during the current period.<\/p>\n<p>In line with general developments in the cultural heritage sector, social benefits are a key factor within the EEA and Norway Grants. The programmes revolve around people and opportunities; cultural heritage provides people with opportunities and our task is to highlight and realise these opportunities. If we manage to achieve this, we will have made an important contribution to the goal of social and economic equality in Europe.[\/vc_column_text]\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"standard-image \">\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"gallery\" href=\"#image-48602\" title=\"\u00c5pne stort bilde i felles bildegalleri\" data-gallery=\"48602\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1331\" src=\"https:\/\/riksantikvaren.no\/content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/kystkultur-i-portugal-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/riksantikvaren.no\/content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/kystkultur-i-portugal-1.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/riksantikvaren.no\/content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/kystkultur-i-portugal-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/riksantikvaren.no\/content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/kystkultur-i-portugal-1-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/riksantikvaren.no\/content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/kystkultur-i-portugal-1-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/riksantikvaren.no\/content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/kystkultur-i-portugal-1-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/riksantikvaren.no\/content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/kystkultur-i-portugal-1-320x213.jpg 320w, https:\/\/riksantikvaren.no\/content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/kystkultur-i-portugal-1-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/riksantikvaren.no\/content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/kystkultur-i-portugal-1-576x383.jpg 576w, https:\/\/riksantikvaren.no\/content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/kystkultur-i-portugal-1-992x660.jpg 992w, https:\/\/riksantikvaren.no\/content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/kystkultur-i-portugal-1-1200x799.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/riksantikvaren.no\/content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/kystkultur-i-portugal-1-1920x1278.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" title=\"\"><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption><strong>Portugese coastal culture<\/strong> \nThe EEA funds support projects that will preserve Portugal's rich coastal culture.
