2023 theme: LIVING HERITAGE & SPORT
September 16 & 17
Serre-Ponçon / Guillestrois - Queyras
Culture for all
The European Heritage Days were created in 1984 by the French Ministry of Culture. Each year, they aim to showcase the extraordinary wealth of our local heritage to as many people as possible, and to all generations, through sometimes unusual visits, new encounters and exceptional openings of sites that are often little-known to the public.
For this 40th edition, the theme chosen is LIVING HERITAGE AND SPORTS HERITAGE:
- The "Living Heritage" theme highlights practices, expressions, knowledge and skills passed down from one generation to the next, such as traditional craftsmanship, knowledge of nature and the universe, and cultural heritage (songs, dances, rituals, festivals). This theme coincides with the 20th anniversary of UNESCO's Convention on Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH).
- The second theme, "Sports heritage": , has grown considerably since the beginning of the 20th century, particularly in our region. An opportunity to shine a spotlight on it ahead of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
The heritage department of the Serre-Ponçon and Guillestrois-Queyras communities of communes is coordinating initiatives with local municipalities and associations, offering visitors the chance to discover the region through these two themes.
