The cross-border region Sønderjylland-Schleswig, spanning Denmark and Germany, is rich in cultural heritage. Our clear objective is to lift these cultural treasures and make it visible by creating and connecting Corporate Museums.
As a HORIZON project, we are part of VERNE: The one-stop-shop of accessible circular solutions for sustainable tourism, which aspires to accelerate the transition of local and regional tourist destinations toward sustainable and circular models across Europe. The VERNE solutions will be implemented and demonstrated in 5 European representative tourist destinations (VERNE Pilots). The VERNE project aims to address these challenges by promoting sustainable cultural and heritage tourism through corporate micro-museums, fostering regional identity, and integrating digital solutions to enhance accessibility and engagement.
“The VERNE project in Sønderjylland-Schleswig presents a groundbreaking approach to cultural and heritage tourism by combining circular economy principles with corporate micro-museums.” VERNE
“Corporate museums can be an attractive offering that draws cultural tourists to the region or encourages local tourists to stay. Local and regional companies can use ‘micromuseums’ to make local heritage accessible to all interested citizens.” Klarissa Lueg, Associate Professor, Pilot leader
Corporate Museums Sønderjylland-Schleswig has two fundamental key elements:
A Digital Platform as well as a physical Corporate Heritage Network.
On our Digital Platform you will see as a Visitor all available museums on a map, provided with all the information you need for your local tour visiting the local heritage in Sønderjylland-Schleswig. And as a museum’s owner, we will prepare your Corporate Museum on an exclusive single Website on our platform as well as integrating all necessarily information to make you visible.
At our Corporate Heritage Network you will find sustainable relations to other Corporate Museum Owners/Builders. As well collaborate with public administrations, DMOs, private sector services, industries, citizens and tourists, NGOs, and other stakeholders. As a member, you will share or get to know, how to implement a Corporate Museum and become part of a regional community in the Region Sønderjylland-Schleswig.
A regional network to visibilize and connect the corporates heritage
Our first Corporate Heritage Network Meeting will take place in September 2025 at Alsion in Sønderborg.
