This two-day forum marked the most recent development in the project on the Protection and Promotion of universal Sacred Places in the Mediterranean area, launched in 2007 by the Sovereign Order of Malta.
The forum represented the commitment of all parties to strengthen intercultural dialogue through the preservation of cultural and religious heritage, with a view to contributing to the stability and peaceful development of the Mediterranean region. The conference examined this theme in the context of the economic crisis and the impact of natural catastrophes and conflicts.
Participants included representatives from the European Commission, Holy See, Republic of Italy, the Church of Cyprus, the Russian Orthodox Church, UNESCO, Republic of Cyprus and Sovereign Order of Malta, as well as some of Europe’s leading universities and heritage institutions.
