Cooperation Solutions for the Local Sustainable Development of Heritage Communities: Role and Contributions of the Faro Italia Network
摘要
The Faro Convention, ratified by Italy in 2020, focuses on the importance of participation by citizenship and the values attributed by citizens to forms of cultural heritage, introducing the concept of Heritage Community. The CNR-ISPC Working Group on Heritage Communities and UNESCO sites was established in 2022 to implement the recommendations of the Convention within the context of the Faro Italia Network, in order to support communities in identifying cooperative solutions for the sustainable development based on holistic strategies for protection and enhancement of cultural heritage. The paper illustrates the main objectives pursued by the Working Group, through the description of activities and good practices experienced in the field. In the conclusions, possible future initiatives are pointed out.
