PASCAL has taken a close interest in the role of cultural policies and institutions in building cohesive and sustainable Learning Cities with a rich quality of life since the 10^th PASCAL International Conference in Ostersund on the subject Heritage, regional development, and social cohesion. When the Learning Cities Networks (LCN) program was established in 2014 a Cultural Policies Network was established as one of the five Networks to carry on this interest.

The aim of this project is to encourage, promote and facilitate volunteering at cultural heritage institutions in the Nordic and Baltic countries, nationally and across the borders. Volunteering is seen as a form of informal learning and a positive contribution to the community.
