OPEN CALL

The call for applications for the fifth cycle of European Heritage Times volunteers is still open.

As originally foreseen, the seminar will take place in the German part of the Historic Mining Landscape Ore Mountains which had been inscribed in 2019 as transboundary German-Czech site in the World Heritage list.

In conjunction with the postponed seminar we decided to extend the deadline for applications till April, 18th, 2021. Earlier applications are appreciated.
