Regional training exercise for the Cultural Routes in Azerbaijan
The Ministry of Culture in Azerbaijan (EHTTA Associate Member), and the European Institute of Cultural Routes in Luxembourg invited us to take part in a Regional training exercise for the Cultural Routes in Azerbaijan, on 28th and 29th February in the capital Baku.
The EHTTA Co-ordinator, Catherine Lloyd was asked to moderate a panel of speakers from the different routes involved in the training, the Route of Olives, Iter Vitis, The Rock Art Trail and the Route of Historic Thermal Towns. Interestingly the panellists were all private sector partners, who are often the ones at the forefront of the production of the olives, wine etc which are celebrated as part of the Cultural Heritage of the Routes.
Catherine also assisted Carolina Clark, the Project Manager of the European Institute of Cultural Routes to deliver some training about how to “be” a Cultural Route of the Council of Europe, using several of EHTTA’s projects and initiatives as examples of good practice.
The hospitality shown by Gunel Aslanova, representative of the Ministry of Culture of Azerbaijan was second to none!
