AEPJ Joins the Seminar “Malta in the Cultural Routes of the Council of Europe”
On 29–30 October, the European Association for the Preservation and Promotion of Jewish Culture and Heritage (AEPJ) took part in the seminar “Malta in the Cultural Routes of the Council of Europe”, a landmark gathering that brought together heritage experts, cultural operators and institutional representatives to strengthen the visibility of the Cultural Routes programme in Malta.
Organised under Malta’s Presidency of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe (May–November 2025), the seminar fostered rich exchanges and new synergies among European cultural stakeholders. For the AEPJ, it was a valuable occasion to showcase its flagship initiatives — including the European Jewish Routes, the European Days of Jewish Culture, and Cities Embracing Jewish Heritage — while exploring new ways to collaborate within Malta’s vibrant cultural scene.
Throughout the event, AEPJ representatives connected with numerous partners eager to engage with the network’s projects and contribute to the shared European narrative of culture, diversity and memory. These encounters opened exciting prospects for future cooperation and creative cross-border initiatives.
Beyond the professional discussions, the AEPJ team discovered in Malta an inspiring community of passionate cultural actors and forward-thinking heritage projects. The seminar highlighted Malta’s unique position as a crossroads of civilizations, deeply rooted in history yet open to new cultural dialogues.
The AEPJ returns from Malta energised and inspired, with fresh partnerships on the horizon and a renewed commitment to its mission: building bridges between people, histories and traditions through culture.
