The aims of the AVEC network's members:
- Integrate
as harmoniously as possible innovation in what
already exists, for a sustainable development of
the historical and cultural heritage of the cities and
territories in Europe. While thinking together of social,
cultural, economic and environmental dimensions of the
heritages, the members of the network enrich their own
experiences and bring common solutions to continue the work
of the builders of yesterday.
- Make of
local heritages a driving force for economic,
cultural and social development for cities and
territories in the spirit of the charter signed by each
member. This charter engages them in a quality approach,
which exceeds the short-term use of the heritages as a
simple source of income. Member cities and territories
manage the heritages, they were transmitted, with the
constant concern of preserving as well the quality of their
natural and cultural environment as the interests of the
future generations.
- Contribute
to the economic growth of their
territories. The influence of the AVEC network constitutes
a true asset for the future of their communities.
- Get an
international visibility. Support and spread the
image of culture and sustainable development, with the
objective to change the network into a patrimonial
reference in the long term.
