LIVIND

Creative and living cultural heritage as a resource

The LIVIND Project (2021-2024) is led by the Finnish Heritage Agency and includes partners from nine countries in the Northern Dimension area, the Nordic autonomous regions and the Sápmi. IMMART and the Royal Danish Library represent Denmark.

The focus of the LIVIND Project is to recognize the practical ways in which living heritage can support sustainable development, as well as how living heritage may be developed and used in sustainable ways. In practice, it is supporting living heritage in Northern Europe by collecting and sharing good practices, and strengthening cooperation between different actors in the region.

IMMART joined the project in 2023 – check out what we have been up to and our plans for the rest of the year:

February 2024

IMMART shall be organising two workshops (one online and one face-to-face in Copenhagen) in collaboration with the Finnish Heritage Agency and the Royal Danish Library. 

Read more about the first event on 7 February, Our Living Heritage, and secure your seat by registering here.

June 2023

IMMART’s task for LIVIND in June was to translate the educational tool The Spinner of Living Heritage from English to Danish. Here is the English and the Danish version.

May 2023

IMMART met with the LIVIND partners in Riga to continue the learning process on the linkages between living heritage and sustainable development. There was a strong focus on the connections between ICH and CCIs (Intangible Cultural Heritage and Cultural and Creative Industries).

March 2023

In conjunction with ARTIVAL RE:CONNECT and the G.A.P. Art Summit, we participated in a panel discussion on culture, heritage and integration, sharing the ways in which we currently work to sustain intangible cultural heritage.

IMMART co-creates opportunities for networking, for knowledge exchange, and for paid work in the arts and culture scene at home and abroad – no matter where you are from or what your cultural heritage is!
