Thursday 29 and Friday 30 September 2016, Paris
Conference organized as part of the HECTOR project
(HEritage
and Cultural Tourism Open Resources for innovative training schemes related to
the Cultural Routes of the Council of Europe)
The Council of Europe’s Cultural Routes programme was implemented in
1987 to discover not only “significant” cultural properties, but also those
situated in lesser-known regions with little or no tourism. Its objective is to
address European identity in all its different forms. Cultural routes have always
played an important role in cross-border cultural cooperation by promoting
sustainable cultural tourism. These projects “anchored” on European soil offer travellers
a new vision of Europe through shared themes.
Each European cultural route is made up of a network of properties and
sites that promote cultural, educational, heritage and tourism cooperation
projects that are continually evolving. The routes have enormous potential for
collaboration at all levels (Moulin and Boniface, 2001)[1]. Located
in several Council of Europe states, the routes form multidisciplinary themed
networks that have a legal structure and must operate democratically and
effectively at different scales.
Governance tools were created to ensure the participation of all route stakeholders.
This governance model can be defined as a new type of collective
decision-making through partnership conventions between the public and private
sectors and civil society (Dredge, 2006)[2].
It is a notion of governance that applies to the networking strategies of the
Council of Europe’s Cultural Routes at the local, regional, national, and
European level. This governance structure attempts to describe a transformation
that alters traditional styles of government at all levels, Its central objective
is to form stakeholder networks that promote cooperation planning (Tinsley and
Lynch, 2001)[3].
This collaborative approach has become necessary to tackle the complex subjects
that institutions cannot resolve on their own.
Cultural tourism is an activity that lends itself well to the analysis
of governance processes. It is, by definition, a transversal field as its
development requires support from multiple sectors which, while working towards
the same goal, have different and sometimes contradictory logics. Therefore, a
cultural route involves establishing a set of relationships in network form between
the different stakeholders, who are sometimes highly diverse.
Cultural tourism can be a significant factor in territorial dynamics,
but proper coordination between the numerous actors involved is necessary. Some
cultural tourism projects are carried out without the involvement of regional
actors, but this can jeopardise the sustainability of the project.
What obstacles do Route members face during networking?
How do they adapt to new forms of governance? What solutions do they find? To
what extent do the cultural routes meet the expectations generated during their
creation?
This conference sets out to analyse new governance practices in the
Council of Europe’s Cultural Routes in all their various aspects, such as
territory, culture, tourism, sustainability, and innovative approaches to research,
education, training and youth. It also aims to give participants the
opportunity to exchange inter-sector practices and methods of cooperation that may
form part of a cultural route and, more particularly, of cultural tourism.
What methods can researchers implement to analyse
these governance practices?
The conference is part of the HECTOR project (HEritage and Cultural Tourism
Open Resources for innovative training schemes related to the Cultural Routes
of the Council of Europe) funded by the Erasmus+ Key Action 2
programme. It is designed to support the development and dissemination of best
practices and innovative approaches for training, heritage and cultural tourism
management related to the Council of Europe’s Cultural Routes.
