SUMMARY:Heritage and Civil Society: Grassroots Memory Practices and Fragile Legacies
DESCRIPTION:Heritage and Civil Society: Grassroots Memory Practices and Fragile Legacies \nThe conference is an open-format two-day event exploring how heritage can be documented\,\nreimagined\, and cared for in fragile\, forgotten\, or hard-to-access contexts. The program will feature\ngrassroots and independent projects that experiment with oral and family history\, new curatorial models\,\nand digital tools that help reconnect dispersed narratives. \nOne presentation introduces a report that provides the first comprehensive mapping of the non-governmental heritage sector in central and eastern Europe\, estimating around 33\,500 heritage-oriented NGOs\, analyzing their size\, types of heritage activities (tangible\, intangible\, digital)\, organisational forms\, motivations\, and sectoral challenges (funding\, institutional recognition\, generational renewal). \nAnother session  presents the work-in-progress Virtual Belarusian Jewish Museum – a “museum without walls” concept\, exploring new approaches to heritage work in contexts marked by fragmentation\, loss\, and limited institutional infrastructure. The project team will outline the project’s conceptual framework\, which combines digital reconstruction\, public engagement\, and cross-border collaboration to target a heritage landscape largely destroyed during the 20th century\, scattered and inaccessible today.  \nVirtual reconstructions of two Belarus synagogues will also be presented. \nClick here to see the program \nClick here to register — the conference can be attended online
