ACTIVITIES

Activities realised within "Cultural Heritage – a Bridge towards a Shared Future" are coordinated by UNESCO, through the Culture Section of the UNESCO Office in Venice – Regional Bureau for Science and Culture in Europe (BRESCE), with the objective to ensure the complementarity of the single projects, and their adherence to common objectives as set by the Ministerial Conferences, and the consistence of the whole cooperation process.

All actions are defined in agreement with Ministries of Culture of relevant countries, so as to be integrated with cultural policies and priorities of each member country.

The main financial source is the Trust Fund for Cultural Heritage in South-Eastern Europe, created at the UNESCO-BRESCE as a follow-up to the first Ministerial Conference (Mostar, 2004), and supported by Italy, through the Italian Development Cooperation (Ministry of Foreign Affairs).

Within this framework, the following activities have been realised or are on-going:
