ABSTRACT
At the Second Summit of the Council of Europe, held in Strasbourg in October 1997, the Heads of State and Governments of the member states of the Council of Europe reaffirmed the importance attached to ‘the protection of our European cultural and natural heritage and to the promotion of awareness of this heritage’. An Action Plan adopted by the summit decided on the need to launch a campaign on the theme Europe, A Common Heritage to be held ‘respecting cultural diversity, based on existing or prospective partnerships between government, education and cultural institutions, and industry’ (Fig. 1.1).
