Summary/Abstract: Cultural heritage is fundamental for the specific sense of own identity in individuals and communities, constituting a non-renewable common thesaurus all members of society need to conserve, protect, restore, and enhance via mobilizing people and institutions in the process, including the political, legal and administrative entities. Multiple contemporary changes in the socioeconomic and cultural contexts alter the perception, experience and transmission of cultural heritage, with new technologies and innovative attitudes calling for the public to become active participants, either in person or online. Valuing cultural heritage generates cohesion by putting people and democratic values at the centre of a cross- disciplinary, multi-sectoral and enlarged approach. Thus history, languages, and art become clear benefits of studying cultural heritage, enhancing all individuals’ capacity of reflection, critical thinking and lifelong learning.
