The second edition of the International Symposium "Why Culture Matters" addresses two main topics: youth involvement in protecting and promoting cultural heritage and the impact of Timișoara 2023 - European Capital of Culture title on Timișoara's built heritage.

On the second day, we will analyze and discuss together the impact of Timișoara 2023 - European Capital of Culture on cultural heritage, including the role of European partnerships, cross-sector collaboration, and the effects on local identity, tourism, and sustainable development. The third day is dedicated to organizing workshops for students and thematic guided tours of Timișoara.
