Creating opportunities for regional growth through promoting Cultural HERitage of fISHing communities in Europe

Programme 2014 - 2020 Interreg Europe

Date of latest update: 2023-12-02

Description

Description (EN):

The main objective of CHERISH is to improve regional development policies to protect and promote cultural heritage in fishing communities in order to boost attractiveness of these regions for businesses, citizens and tourists. Fishery communities in the EU share the same challenges with regard to climate change, tourism pressure and the transformation of the European fishing industry. The EU recognizes the valuable role of their cultural heritage for sustainable development and stimulates increased efforts to better position and profile the fishing communities, including it’s intangible heritage, like myths to daily practices, traditions, ecological knowledge and crafts. Through the development and implementation of new strategies utilising cultural assets of fishing communities new jobs and new products or services are created as well. Interregional cooperation and policy learning will allow exchange of experiences on the development of policy for the protection and promotion of cultural heritage in fishing communities via the integration of the lessons learnt into the regional policies. The exchange of experience among the CHERISH partners is an interregional learning process that follows three sequential steps: 1. Identification and analysis of potential good practices; 2. Interregional Learning & Exchange of Experience Events, including site visits & study tours; 3. Development of Action Plans. Project results are shared at regional, national and EU level, through Stakeholder Group meetings in each partner region, a photo competition which will be on show in each involved country, participation in the Policy Learning Platform of the Interreg Europe Programme and through Interreg Europe events and other relevant European networks, like the Coastal and Marine Union (EUCC). CHERISH will also be online with website, Youtube movies and social media.

Achievements (EN):

In terms of activities, the project has organised a total of 72 policy learning events. It has also identified 26 good practices, produced 7 action plans and led to the increased capacity of 177 people. In terms of results, the project has succeeded in improving 6 regional development policies for a total amount of funds influenced of EUR 3,519,336. 73.

Expected Results (EN):

The main objective of CHERISH is to improve regional development policies to protect and promote cultural heritage in fishing communities in order to boost attractiveness of these regions. Sub objectives: 1. Improve knowledge / construct a knowledge framework on cultural heritage in fishing communities as base for policy measures. Investigate and analyse the actual and “forgotten” cultural heritage potential of EU fishing communities; Investigation of actors / playing field; Identification and analysis of good practices. 2. Interregional learning and exchange of experience to utilise EU fishing communities’ potential of their cultural heritage. Promote policy learning through exchange of experience and transfer of good practices on promoting and protecting of cultural heritage, e.g. best practices of using cultural heritage to promote sustainable regional development, protect traditional ecological knowledge and promotion of available cultural capital within the fishery communities (e.g. tourism, regional attractiveness). Social media channels (e.g. web forum and twitter wall) will stimulate knowledge transfer and stakeholder involvement. 3. Develop participatory and integrated regional action plans to protect and promote cultural heritage in fishing communities to boost attractiveness of these regions for businesses, citizens and tourists. Equally important will be the dissemination of project results at local, regional and EU level, through the participation in the Policy Learning Platform, Interreg Europe events, the European Maritime Days (EMD) and other relevant European networks, like the EUCC, the Coastal and Marine Union (through one of CHERISH advisory partners) and the Conference of Peripheral Maritime Regions (CPMR).
