When is a heritage project really successful? EH4 workshop focuses on sustainability and embedding of results The EU-funded Euromed Heritage 4 programme is organizing a training workshop on the importance of sustainability and embedding of results in order for a project to be successful, examining how actions developed by projects can achieve continuity. The workshop, to take place from 17- 19 November in Tangier, Morocco, is organised for the benefit of Euromed Heritage partners by the Regional Monitoring and Support Unit and, in cooperation with London Metropolitan University. It will provide an opportunity to evaluate progress and obstacles in a number of areas, from the dissemination of publications to commercial opportunities arising around the results of a project. A fundamental question addressed by the training will be: in which ways ownership of outputs can be disseminated beyond the project consortium? For example, can a long-standing exhibition be placed in a local museum? How could policy suggestions be formally integrated into public structures? How could toolkits or cultural maps, be used by and for the service of civil society? Are there commercial applications for such tools? Projects will be given the opportunity to present their outputs and the problems they face to secure continuity. They will also learn from the experiences of other projects who have already succeeded in achieving sustainability of their actions. As part of the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) and with a budget of 17 million euros, the European programme Euromed Heritage 4 (EH4 2008-2012) aims to help people to hold to their cultural heritage, at national and regional levels, by facilitating access to education and knowledge about their own cultural heritage. Twelve projects were funded over four years in the framework of the programme. Each project involved a major organization with different partners in the European Union and in the partner countries in the Mediterranean: Algeria, the Palestinian Authority, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Syria and Tunisia.
