On 24th and 25th September 2013, the INTERREG IV A France (Channel) – England European cooperation programme held a roadshow on “Europe, Culture and Territories” in Amiens.

This two-day event highlighted and evaluated 39 Anglo-French projects funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) in the cultural, tourism and heritage sectors.

ZEPA 2 partner based in Great Yarmouth Joe Mackintosh, SeaChange Arts Director, was one of the speakers on showing the impact of the ZEPA 1 et ZEPA 2 projects (and Interreg -funded PASS Circus) on increasing the attractiveness of the area.

What impact do these Anglo-French cooperations have on increasing employment?
How do they contribute to strengthening regional and local attractiveness?
In what way do they encourage social inclusion and access for culture for all?
How could these collaborations continue in the 2014-2020 period?

Through their transnational experience, the 39 project leaders have shown the vital role of cultural entrepreneurs (artists and “go-betweens” such as cultural organisations) in local development. The participants in the Roadshow, across all art forms, have decided to stay in contact and jointly continue their contribution to the decision-making process in the cultural, tourism and heritage sectors in the INTERREG V programme led by the Norfolk County Council.
