International cooperation and sharing of management experience
accumulated by other heritage cities plays an essential role in the Vilnius Old Town revitalisation process. Since the preparation of Vilnius Old Town Revitalisation Strategy, Vilnius Old Town experts have been
cooperating with a variety of international organisations supporting
Old Town revitalisation activity.
In 2017 – 2018 we participate in the Project „World Heritage Journeys in the European Union“. The Project is funded by a grant from the European Commission (Directorate-General for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs) to UNESCO. More about the project

Project HERITPROT “Fire Risk Prevention and Improvement of the Fire Extinction Systems of the Historic Town Centers of Cities Named World Heritage” was devoted for the protection of cultural heritage values in case of fires and other disasters.
