XXXI GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Conference “Culture Heritage for a Sustainable Future”
Sweden – Kalmar Castle
The three-day event provided a valuable opportunity for the members of the Association to convene and collaborate with the newly established castle and fortress network of the National Property Board of Sweden. The meeting served as an engaging forum for exploring the practical applications of sustainable development and examining how institutions can interact with cultural heritage, both in the present and the future. Discussions centred heavily on the three core dimensions of sustainability - economic, social, and environmental - prompting active involvement and exchange among all participants.
