  ABSTRACT: Values define human personality and provide the conditions for social well-being and cohesion. European values—Lisbon Treaty Art. 2—reinforce the identity of European citizenship and embody an important part of Europe’s Intangible Cultural Heritage. Thus, their cultivation contributes to the cohesion of European societies. However, how can we support this high-level social cause at a policy level? How can we derive multi-perspective value-centric policy recommendations that can further support this social cause? Aiming to contribute to the field of values and social cohesion, this paper aims to propose a concrete set of policy recommendations for promoting values as a key part of our Intangible Cultural Heritage and enhancing their digitisation. Adopting a multi-perspective, participatory policy approach, our study findings validate the importance of values and highlight the significance of their examination and research for scientific and for the policy stakeholders, supporting social cohesion and societal agility.
