AEPJ Receives its Official Recertification as a “Cultural Route of the Council of Europe”

We are happy to announce that, following the regular evaluation that each of the Cultural Routes of the Council of Europe program undergoes every three years carried out by the EPA Governing Board, the renewal of the certification of the European Route of Jewish Heritage, one of our flagship projects, has been approved.

We are very proud to participate in this program and to be the institution that represents Jewish heritage in Europe. It is our commitment to continue working not only to meet the technical requirements, but also to promote European values in all our projects and initiatives in European Jewish heritage and culture, in an open, pluralistic, collaborative, and inclusive way.

We thank and congratulate all of the AEPJ members who have worked toward the preparation of the dossiers for the evaluation, the AEPJ team, as well as our external evaluator, Maria Laura Gasparini from the University of Bologna, who accompanied us at the Incubator in Izmir, having had the opportunity not only to know our work first-handedly, but also to offer us good recommendations for further improvement.
