A three day workshop on “Cross-Cutting Themes in Our Projects” took place on 11-13 July 2013 in Dilijan, Armenia. The workshop was organised by the Regional Monitoring and Capacity Building Unit (RMCBU) for 6 out of 15 projects implemented within the EASTERN PARTNERSHIP CULTURE PROGRAMME.

The six projects with 24 months duration which participated at the Workshop were:

  • SOS CULTURE: Saving Endangered Cultural Assets in Remote Regions of Armenia and Georgia by Involving Local Youth in Their Preservation

  • CAUCADOC: Let’s talk about Film in South Caucasus

  • Heritage Crafts: Strengthening Creative Industries in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia: Common Platform for Development

  • EkoArt: Cultural Development is the Source for Prosperity of Community

  • New Breath of Culture: Fill Heritage with Life of Art

  • VIVA_EASTPART: Valorisation and Improving of Management of Small Historic Centres in the Eastern Partnership Region

During the workshop different cross-cutting topics such as nature, culture, and gender were discussed. However the main objective of the workshop was to explore the future of the projects and their sustainability. Other topics of the workshop were local ownership, audience development and cultural leadership.

On the last day of the workshop the project stakeholders were invited to discuss the communication strategies. The projects had the chance to meet face-to-face with the project’s stakeholders and with potential future donors in order to inspire them.

For the SOS Culture project team the workshop was a great chance to discuss some joint strategies and events with other EU funded projects as well us to find out about the new funding opportunities in the field of culture.
