Boulouki is one of the 2024 Europa Nostra Awards winners
On 30 May 2024, the European Commission and Europa Nostra announced the winners of the European Heritage Awards/Europa Nostra Awards 2024.
Boulouki is one of this year’s celebrated winners, being recognised for its exemplary work in the category “Education, Training & Skills”.
The winners were selected by a jury consisting of 12 heritage experts from across Europe, out of 206 valid applications from 38 European countries. This year, Europe’s most prestigious awards for cultural heritage were granted to 26 outstanding achievements originating from 18 countries across the continent.
“Boulouki’s activities have strong social, environmental, and economic values. They promote social integration by bringing people of different ages and origins together, they champion the use of local materials, and they support the preservation of the built and natural landscape. Boulouki sets a strong example for further restoration projects, highlighting the transformative power of heritage in promoting sustainable development”, the Jury added.
Europa Nostra is a pan-European federation of Non-Governmental Organisations active in the field of cultural heritage. It is supported by a broad network of public bodies, private companies, and individuals, covering more than 40 countries. The European Heritage Awards / Europa Nostra Awards were established by the European Commission in 2002, are managed by Europa Nostra, and are co-funded by the European Union’s ‘Creative Europe’ program.
The winners will be celebrated at the European Heritage Awards Ceremony 2024 on the 7th of October in Bucharest. During the ceremony, the ‘Grand Prix’ laureates and the ‘Public Choice Award’ winner will be announced. More information about the award, as well as the voting procedure for the ‘Public Choice Award’, can be found in detail in the relevant press release.
