Following a successful ASCE Annual General Meeting and Conference 2026, held on 18–19 June in Turin, Italy, we are proud to announce the upcoming release of our first official conference dossier.
This volume brings together the core outcomes of our gathering under the theme "Life Lessons: Cemeteries as Educational Heritage." It opens with an introduction to the host city of Turin and its Monumental Cemetery, accompanied by welcome reflections from the ASCE President and local organizers, as well as the criteria and methodology used by the editorial board to select the contributions featured at the conference. At its core, the publication features delegate presentations explaining how cemeteries across Europe engage visitors of all ages through hands-on educational activities, interactive digital tools, and active community involvement.
By gathering these contributions into an open digital format, the dossier ensures that the knowledge, creative solutions, and practical experiences presented in Turin remain freely accessible to heritage managers, educators, researchers, and the wider public.
The final version of the dossier will be available shortly via the link below. For those interested, a printed edition will also be available to order, with full details announced upon publication. In the meantime, feel free to browse more news and stories connected to ASCE’s work and mission.
