2018 was declared European Year of Cultural Heritage and to celebrate it we chose Cultural Heritage to be the central axis of the transnational project meeting held in Barcelona from 5th-9th November and of the new issue of the magazine edited and published here with the participation of 24 students together with their teachers from the project partner schools.

The slogan of the year is Our heritage: where the past meets the future, and what better inspiration for a youth meeting and a students’ magazine? A wide variety of activities have been carried out to encourage young people to experience, appreciate and enjoy our rich cultural heritage in its many shapes and forms: buildings, monuments, performing arts, traditions, food, ...  It has been a very intense week filled with work sessions to discuss, review, select and edit the articles for the new issue of the magazine but there has also been time for many cultural visits, awesome workshops and plenty of occasions for enjoyment and companionship.

We have realised that cultural heritage shapes our identities and everyday lives and has a universal value for us as individuals, communities and societies. Through cherishing our cultural heritage we can discover our diversity but also what we have in common and reinforce a sense of belonging to a common European space.  We invite you to read the articles in the magazine and hope you will join us in our celebration of cultural heritage because by discovering our past we build our future.
