Report available of the European Maritime Day.
6/30/2009
The second workshop had as title: Raising awareness of common maritime heritage as a cultural pillar of the integrated maritime policy.
Three key messages included on the reporting slide for the
last plenary session
• The variety of individual projects all over Europe proves
that there is a common maritime heritage which could be
used as the cultural pillar of an integrated maritime policy.
• However, only a small part of the projects are visibly
labelled as European and thus are not perceived by the
European public as a genuine European maritime heritage.
Others are either too specific or too specialised to be
perceived by a larger public as of general European
importance. Especially the latter deserve more and more
widespread recognition – a task which could be fulfilled by
European institutions.
• Taken into consideration that the European institutions
should not act normatively it seems reasonable to focus on
a few but carefully chosen projects related to our common
maritime heritage. Here the European Commission could
e.g. provide for a framework in which a network of projects
could be embedded. The projects accepted should be
carefully selected and fulfil certain criteria like quality,
European dimension, public interest to safeguard both
standard and sustainability.
