EUROPEAN CULTURE EXPRESSED IN ISLAND LANDSCAPES
Start date: Jun 1, 2011,

VISION ESLAND vision is to consider the European island landscapes as part of our cultural heritage, including the unique identity and values they have for European people. GOALS & APPROACHThis pilot project aims to describe the evolution of European island landscapes and their present conditions, in view of a novel interdisciplinary approach for a common discussion and agreed methodology on their history, classification, identity and scenarios, leading to mapping, e-tools and publications for a future development of these landscapes which should be more oriented to culture and sustainability than at present. A further goal is to promote awareness, participation and capacity on island heritage preservation among local stakeholders, young and elderly people, and volunteers. The ultimate goal is to contribute to the implementation of related European policies and to the set up of the ESLAND Network for long-term intercultural cooperation.CULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF EXCELLENCE1.
