Council of Europe conference to launch broad-based cultural programme
for Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Ukraine and Moldova
Strasbourg, 11.12.2006 - The Kyiv Initiative Regional Programme will be
launched on 15 December at a ministerial conference hosted by the
Romanian government in Bucharest, at the Ramada Majestic Hotel, Calea
Victoriei 38-40.
The mission of this initiative is to promote a democratic and
participative society through an integrated approach to sustainable
development based on Council of Europe values in five countries:
Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Ukraine and Moldova. The objective is to
contribute to sustainable cultural, social and economic development
through multilateral co-operation and a trans-sectoral approach in the
management of culture and cultural heritage.
Ministers of Culture from all five countries concerned and from the host
country, representatives of member states of the Council of Europe,
representatives from UNESCO, the OSCE, the World Bank, the EBRD, the
European Commission and the Council of Europe Secretariat will
participate in this major event. A conference Declaration signed by all
five Ministers will mark the official launch of the Kyiv Initiative
Regional Programme.
The Kyiv Initiative - named after the Ukrainian capital because it was
agreed there in September 2005 - integrates on-going Council of Europe
activities in the region and the results of already completed projects,
including legislative reform, the reform of history teaching in the
South Caucasus, improving urban management of historical sites, working
with towns to enhance cultural tourism, and many others.
