“Heritage has the potential to facilitate positive change in the lives, well-being, and relationships of large social groups“
However, these social values are often subordinate to financial feasibility, preservation, and sustainability. Heritage Renewal is committed to the social added value in heritage renewal projects, in addition to preservation and sustainability, as heritage belongs to everyone. This does not necessarily have to be at the expense of financial feasibility.
Through scientific research and practical cases, a database is currently being built with concrete actions to create social added value. Various measurement models are also being investigated in order to be able to measure the impact as completely as possible. The acquired knowledge is applied again and again within the (advisory) projects.

OUR EXPERTISE
Make social impact with vacant heritage sites
Heritage sites form a collective memory. Through a shared past, people feel connected to each other. The collective memory plays a fundamental role in the formation of cohesion and cultural solidarity, something we cleary need at the moment. In addition, heritage has great significance for individual citizens. Heritage is intergenerational, highly valuable for society and should therefore be available to the widest possible group of people. Let’s say its our moral commitment to social justice to make heritage sites accessible again for the broad public. Heritage sites can effectively serve as “third places”, which are informal public meeting places that are separate from home (“first place”) and work (“second place”). These locations promote social interaction and community engagement, which positively contributes to social cohesion and individual well-being. Let’s make sure that heritage stays accessible for everyone in the future!
