• The Council of Europe participated at the public conference “Cultural and religious routes", on 7 June 2012, where speakers included the Vice-President of the European Commission and Commissioner for Enterprise and Industry, Antonio Tajani, and Anne Brasseur, author of a Parliamentary Assembly report on the religious dimension of Intercultural dialogue.
• Two other important events were an “Info session� on thematic-tourism routes where 8 routes presented their different transnational themes and a seminar focused on the results of two years of cooperation between the Council of Europe and the European Union on cultural routes. The first outcomes of the Joint Programme on Cultural Routes 2011-2013 rolled out during the seminar.
