‘Holistic Heritage’ brings conversations, opinions and thoughts on heritage from Central and Eastern Europe. Join Dr Katarzyna Jagodzińska, Head of the Europa Nostra Heritage Hub in Krakow, and John Beauchamp from Free Range Productions as they interview heritage leaders and discover the most inspiring projects from across the region.
In this episode, we learn about activities of the International Cultural Centre in Kraków which for over thirty years has specialised in the culture and heritage of Central Europe. The International Cultural Centre in Kraków specialises in the culture and heritage of Central Europe and grounds its activities of public diplomacy, research, education and communication on dialogue with partners from all countries of the region.
The ICC was founded in 1991 by Professor Jacek Purchla who ran the institution for 27 years and built its unrivaled international recognition. We meet him and the current director Agata Wąsowska-Pawlik to talk about the knowledge of the region of Central Europe, changing approach towards Central European heritage, raising awareness of the value of cultural heritage and the meaning of being member of Europa Nostra.
