SEE Heritage Network

South East European (SEE) Heritage is a network of non-governmental organizations from South East Europe, established in 2006. The missionof the SEE Heritage network is to work towards protecting and promoting the common cultural heritage with the aim of encouraging sustainable development of the region. The visionof the SEE Heritage network: South East Europe (SEE) - region where people cooperate, understand and respect each other on the basis of their cultural differences, believing that cultural, ethnic and religious diversity is a valuable resource. The initiative to establish a network of NGOs working on cultural heritage was started by the Swedish organization CHwB (Cultural Heritage without Borders), an NGO that works in BiH and Kosovo and regionally in the Western Balkans. CHwB has started its activities in recognizing the NGOs that will try to create a common ground of acting. Initially, twelve partner NGOs from the region (Albania, BiH, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia) expressed their willingness to meet and to exchange views and experiences with their colleagues. In mid-2006 based on a CHwB initiative NGOs from the region met in Sarajevo.
