ensure that working methods, progress and outcomes are shared
with all interest parties in a transparent way (15-20 lines).
(e.g. publication of minutes on the website, open seminars…)
HerO’s communication and dissemination strategy comprises the elaboration of
flyers and brochures to introduce the project partners andto outline the network’s
main objectives, an online newsleter to inform a broad audience on the project’s
work and progress, a project website as part of the URBACT website to provide
comprehensive information on the network and to link to other URBACT projects as
well as the compulsory involvement of local media within the partner cities.
Thereby, emphasis will be put on the translation of the basic information documents
on the project into other languages to ensure that those individuals within
the partner cities who can implement new policies are reached and to maximise
the target group for the communication materials.
The HerO newsletter and the HerO project website will allow insight into the progress
of the project work and will report on the HerO meetings and the results
achieved in regular terms. The thematic reports as output of the project’s meetings
will be uploaded on the website in order to ensure that a wider professional audience
will be reached.
To capitalize on the experiences of other historic towns in Europe and to widely
disseminate our project’s results, the Hero network wil co-operate closely with the
“European Association of Historic Towns and Regions (EAHTR)”. Representatives of
EAHTR wil take part into the project’s thematic seminars and workshops and will
give input to the relevant topics.
Special focus will be put on the dissemination of project’s main outputs, which are
the “Strategy paper for the support of historic urban landscapes via structural
funds”, the “Policy recommendations for the improvement of historic urban landscapes”
and the „Guidebook for the development and implementation of integrated
cultural heritage management plans”. Capitalising on the experiences of the partner
cities’ ULSG and developed with the input of EAHTR, the latter will be a comprehensible
practical guide which could serve as a basis for the future sustainable
and integrated management of many historic urban landscapes in Europe and beyond.
