Aims
Map the needs of the cultural heritage sector to identify skills shortages and mismatches in order to
develop training programmes for already-active CH professionals.

Support the education system to become responsive and adapt their curricula and learning goals in
accordance with the actual needs of the sector.

Use the mapping of the CH sector to provide and ensure qualitative professional development.
Statistical and economic visibility will demonstrate the value of CH professionals and ensure that
they are paid accordingly.

Create a transferable methodology and framework that will make it easy to recognise competences
and skills found across the CH sector.

Make upskilling of core and transversal skills easily accesible and encourage exchange, capacity
building and movement within Europe.

Make obvious the power and value of CH in creating a sustainable future and promoting social
cohesion in Europe. CH is integral in achieving social, economic and environmental sustainability.

Produce cultural heritage policy recommendations and advocate at EU level for the benefit of all
current and future CH workers and students.
