Too late for subsidy? True.
Too late for fun? Absolutely not!
The time for grant applications is over. August 15, 2025 was truly the very, very last chance. But the Heritage Year is far from over! Until December we will continue the program, which was shaped from the bottom up, with commitment and pride by Heerlen citizens. Because heritage is much more than what is in display cases or on monument lists. During the Heritage Year, heritage is a shared, living practice: not a dusty label, but a connecting force between people, generations and communities. It is about what people find important to preserve and pass on. Stories, rituals, images and rhythms that resonate in the present.
