Developed and carried out by Eutropian and Platoniq, the Open Heritage Training Programme was created with the aim to adress urban porfessionals involved in issues related to heritage protection and adaptive reuse. Abandoned or underused sites pose a significant challenge to both the public and private sectors but also represent major opportunities. This is why the training has been developped: help those interested in repurposing empty or underused buildings with symbolic or practical heritage significance.

Developed as part of the Open Heritage project and funded through the Horizon 2020 grand scheme of the EU, the OH Training builds on the expansive knowledge base of the project, generated since its launch in 2018, notably, capitalizing on the 16 Observatory Case studies that were developed in detail at earlier stages of the project.

The Observatory Cases look at how various (e.g. financial, governance, territorial) aspects of cultural heritage reuse come together to form sucessful initiatives in various European local contexts.

The Open Heritage Training on Adaptive Heritage Reuse was created first, in an online classroom setting hosted on Zoom and utilizing MIRO interactive boards. The training sessions were held on a bi-weekly basis, with the following five modules: (1) Heritage, (2) Governance and Community , (3) Financial and (4) Territorial Impacts of aspects of adoptive heritage reuse. The final module brought (5) Integrate the above-presented aspects into one comprehensive model.
