AEPJ Represented at High-Level Meeting of the Council of Europe’s Congress of Local and Regional Authorities
As part of Luxembourg’s presidency of the Council of Ministers of the Council of Europe, a significant meeting of the Bureau of the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities was recently held in Luxembourg. The European Association for the Preservation and Promotion of Jewish Culture and Heritage (AEPJ) had the honor of being the only organization invited to present its certified Cultural Route, the European Route of Jewish Heritage.
Representing AEPJ, President François Moyse showcased the presentation prepared for the 20th anniversary of AEPJ, which took place in Strasbourg last month. He provided insights into the association’s structure, members, and activities, illustrating the success and impact of the European Cultural Routes program, managed by the European Institute of Cultural Routes of the Council of Europe, based in Luxembourg.
This meeting offered an important platform for highlighting the significance of Jewish heritage and culture across Europe, reinforcing the vital role that AEPJ plays in the preservation, promotion, and accessibility of Jewish heritage sites as part of the Council of Europe’s Cultural Routes program.
