Editorial

Dear partners, dear friends of EH4 programme,

We resume the New Year with a fresh burst of energy and keen enthusiasm to implement the many activities we have planned in support of the projects and the whole EH 4 Programme.

First, we invite you to check out the results and recommendations of the two specialised workshops we organised last November and December within the framework of our action for institutional and legislative strengthening: one on Prevention and fight against illicit traffic of cultural properties and the other on Planning regulations & Urban rehabilitation. We will soon publish the results and recommendations of our thematic workshop on Maintenance and Preventive Conservation.  So do stay on hold!

Second, we have announced the organisation of our Regional Conference on “Civil Society and Cultural Heritage in the Mediterranean”, which will take place on February 24 and 25, 2010, in Palermo. We believe that this conference will mark an important step in the overall programme action. You can refer to the provisional agenda for more information. Also check out our upcoming training on Recording and Safeguarding the Intangible, which will also be held in Palermo, on 22 and 23 February.
In preparation for the conference, and in case you have not done so, we invite you to leaf through the latest edition of our newsletter Connecting n. 3, which focuses on issues related to civil society actions around cultural heritage, governance, and public participation.

Thirdly, keep informed on major cultural heritage News & Events, from within the programme and beyond. This section is regularly up-dated and you are welcome to indicate to us new information through our address info@euromedheritage.net

Finally, and as always, we invite you to check out our new additions on Mediterranean heritage to our Photo Gallery, and do not hesitate to be a contributor to this very popular section of our website.

We wish you a good browsing, as always!
