Language is a major barrier to the cross-border exchange of knowledge. The European Heritage Tribunewants to lower this barrier. It collects the news from sources all over Europe and then translates it into a common language. For now, this is English, but the aim is to distribute the newsletter also in other languages such as French and German. The newsletter is aimed at the European community of Heritage professionals and volunteers.

The European Heritage Tribune provides a regular overview of the latest news from different European countries and regions and the news of European institutions and organisations. It also focusses on best practices and hosts a platform featuring a European calendar of upcoming events, calls, and announcements.

The newsletter is currently financially sustained by a growing community of over fifteen partners, funders and sponsors, both private and public. This community not only provides the European Heritage Tribune with sustainable funding, but it also protects the independence of the newsgathering.
