CARLOS V EUROPEAN AWARD GRANTED TO THE CULTURAL ROUTES PROGRAMME OF THE COUNCIL OF EUROPE

The European and Ibero-American Academy of Yuste granted the XIII Carlos V European Award for the first time to a European initiative, the Cultural Routes of the Council of Europe. The Carlos V European Award honours people, organisations, projects or initiatives that contribute “to the enhancement of Europe’s cultural and historical values”.

« Under the aegis of the Council of Europe, the Cultural Routes certification was created; a certification of excellence and an example of cooperation between citizens, peoples, countries and continents, where European identity, values and heritage are reflected. [...] The Cultural Routes, with the essential involvement of countless people and entities, are thus routes that enhance the archaeological, cultural and artistic heritage; as well as customs, religious and secular traditions, landscapes and cities, to show us that culture is the best way and the best place for encounter. [...] Let us continue building Europe from the knowledge and from the encounter » (Felipe VI, King of Spain).

The integral version of the speech of His Majesty the King of Spain Felipe VI is available in Spanish on the website of the House of His Majesty the King.

« Since 1995 the Carlos V Award has been given to some of the great contemporary Europeans who have done so much to promote our common heritage, identity and integration. [...] But, for the first time, this prize has gone to an institution, in recognition of our Cultural Routes Programme. [...] The success of this project stems from the inherent demand from Europeans for a greater understanding of our common identity, underpinned by our common cultural heritage [...] It is a testament to citizens’ own curiosity and commitment that this Programme has succeeded » (Thorbjørn Jagland, Secretary General of the Council of Europe).

The integral version of the speech of the Secretary General of the Council of Europe Thorbjørn Jagland is available on the Council of Europe website.

« And here we understand what the Cultural Routes mean: knowledge, respect, feeling equal in difference or feeling different within equality, in deepening in those links and those deep values that constitute the true spirit of what Europe means. [...] Cultural Routes that unite, that energize territories and also sectors, granting quality, creating networks and giving life. [...] And the most important thing is that this heritage is being known by our youth, through quality and certified educational and leisure tourism, which is synonymous with excellence » (Guillermo Fernández Vara, President of the Autonomous Community of Extremadura and President of the Fundación Academia Europea e Iberoamericana de Yuste).

The integral version of the speech of the President of the Autonomous Community of Extremadura and President of the Fundación Academia Europea e Iberoamericana de Yuste Guillermo Fernández Vara is available in Spanish on the website of the Fundación.

« The program [of Cultural Routes of the Council of Europe] promotes citizens' awareness of everything that unites them as Europeans, regardless of geographical distances or cultural differences. It aims to create a link between citizens and heritage, demonstrating that the cultural diversity of the different countries of Europe contributes to creating a common living culture » (Stefano Dominioni, Executive Secretary of the Enlarged Partial Agreement on Cultural Routes of the Council of Europe and Director of the European Institute of Cultural Routes).
