Raising awareness of common maritime heritage as a cultural pillar of the Integrated Maritime Policy (19 May 2009, 09.00-13.00)

This workshop refers to the IMP Action Plan point 8: Raising the visibility of maritime Europe.

Although no specific action on maritime heritage was foreseen in the Action Plan, the Blue Paper clearly stated that: ‘[The Integrated Maritime Policy] should also promote Europe's maritime heritage, supporting maritime communities, including port-cities and traditional fisheries communities, their artefacts and traditional skills, and promoting links between them that enhance their knowledge and visibility.’ The workshop will also undertake to make a link from maritime heritage to the promotion of local and regional tourism.

Objectives of the workshop:

• Linking the maritime dimension of Europe to the new theme “EDEN destination for its Aquatic Sustainable Tourism Offer”.
• The EUROPEAN UNION PRIZE FOR CULTURAL HERITAGE: Examples of maritime heritage prize winners.
• Developing the issue of Europe's maritime industrial heritage.
• Learning Best practice from EU regional projects.
• Establishing maritime cultural heritage in postgraduate education
