Heritage in Depopulated European Areas team together with Charles University invite you to the conference “Heritage and Depopulation in Europe” that will take place on 27. – 29. 8. 2025 in Prague.
Rural depopulation and population decline in urban centres affect demographic stability, social security systems and standards of living in many parts of Europe. Demographic challenges of out-migration and population ageing result not only in abandoned houses, disappearing villages and dilapidated infrastructure, but also in the discontinuity of cultural transmission and changing relationship between man and nature. The Heritage and depopulation in Europe conference focuses on the consequences of population decline in rural and urban areas of Europe.
HerInDep Team together with the Faculty of Humanities will host a conference on the impact of depopulation in Europe. During the three-day conference, you will have the opportunity to attend series of intersting presentations and discussions with experts and researchers from the disciplines of cultural anthropology, ethnology, history, architecture, natural sciences, and other fields. This conference will be covering topics related to the depopulation of peripheral rural areas and urban centres and the impact on cultural and natural heritage in the broadest sense, as well as the relationship between humans and nature.
