Art, Culture and Heritage

Art, culture and heritage play an important role in social development, both due to their intrinsic value and thanks to the many cross-pollinations with other domains such as leisure and tourism, area development, new media, education, etc. It is only right that they should get sufficient and adequate policy attention at various levels. IDEA Consult is a familiar sounding board for many actors in this domain. Through our work, we support these actors in further strengthening the positive multidimensional and transversal impact of art, culture and heritage on our society.
