Cultural heritage represents the totality of all traditions, customs, knowledge and artifacts of a particular group, which have been inherited from past generations. It includes both tangible and intangible elements of human history. These constitute the identity of a specific community and for this reason are considered valuable and worthy of preservation, for the benefit of future generations. However, it is also true that all these elements, which characterize a single group, are not immutable and especially not immune from intertwining with the ones of a different community.
Migrations are an example of how cultural heritage is part of a change that so many countries have embraced over the years. In this edition of Balkan Beats, volunteers from the “H2O Health and Heritage, Opportunities for a Life of Change” project immersed themselves in this world of monuments, timeless treasures, music, sports, as well as common idioms, memories of travels and forced exoduses.
