The Secretariat of the Extended Partial Agreement on Cultural Routes and the European Institute of Cultural Routes is organizing its first cycle of live web seminars: "Dialogues of Cultural Routes: challenges and opportunities post Covid-19".

The aim of this initiative is to examine the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on the cultural and tourism sector - in particular on the networks and activities of the Council of Europe's Cultural Routes, to identify the challenges faced by the routes and to discuss the opportunities and innovative solutions to overcome this crisis.

The first edition will take place on Friday 8 May from 15:00 to 16:30 (CEST) and will focus on Cultural Routes based or with a strong presence in Spain.

Future editions will be attended by representatives of the Cultural Routes, the APA member states and institutions from Italy, France, Germany, Northern, Eastern and Southern Europe.

The live webcast of the seminar can be followed on the Facebook page of the Cultural Routes of the Council of Europe programme. The public is invited to submit questions for the speakers via the live chat. Please note that the seminar will be held in SPANISH.
