Mission and Vision The CIE - Centre for International Heritage Activities believes international cooperation benefits cultural heritage management. For the CIE, cultural heritage is much more than monuments and sites. It is the intrinsic value of heritage that engages people to an object, place or practice, shapes collective identities and stirs up emotion. This makes it worthwhile to invest in heritage. In every form of cultural heritage, multiple perspectives occur, sometimes binding and sometimes conflicting. We believe these different perspectives are a source of inspiration for sharing ideas and practices. The strength of the CIE is to bring together different stakeholders and create common understanding. Through knowledge and international cooperation all parties can give meaning and added value to cultural heritage worldwide.
The CIE is a non-profit and independent knowledge centre for international cultural heritage cooperation. We aim to increase collaboration and knowledge sharing in the cultural heritage field by bringing professionals together, collecting and disseminating expertise and developing and facilitating heritage projects all over the world. Therefore the CIE maintains a worldwide network of heritage professionals and functions as a resource centre for the international heritage field. We work together with our partners in building capacity, managing cultural heritage programmes and in sharing know-how and best practices.
