Engage

Join the CHARTER Community
The CHARTER Alliance will be officially launched in 2024. Before we get to that final stage, we have developed the CHARTER Community to start joining forces with different actors in the cultural heritage sector.
We want to team up with inspiring organisations, associations and networks committed to professionalising the sector and ensuring that future generations of professionals have a prosperous and sustainable field of work.
Join the CHARTER Community to support one of the flagship projects on cultural heritage funded by Erasmus+. During the next three years, we are hoping that the CHARTER Community will assist us with information/feedback, participation in surveys, etc.
Your support, dissemination and visibility make us stronger and more united as a sector to overcome challenges and ensure a sustainable and resilient future for the cultural heritage field.
By joining our programme you will become a CHARTER Supporter.

Become a SUPPORTER and show your endorsement for CHARTER’s mission and goals. As a supporter, your organisation will help disseminating the project and its findings as relevant information for the sector. Every time a milestone is achieved you will be first to receive the update!
All CHARTER Supporters will receive a Communication Kit including a logo and banner to identify themselves, as well as communication suggestions for dissemination.
