How to manage Mediterranean cultural heritage sites guaranteeing their preservation and creating opportunities for economic and social development at the local level? Euromed Heritage 4
programme workshop on “Management of heritage sites and artefacts” ‐ (Petra, Jordan, 17‐19 May
2010)

This workshop, addressed to specialists in the field of cultural heritage management from various Mediterranean countries, will introduce participants to the fundamentals of an integrated planning for the management of heritage sites with a special focus on tourism. The objective is to assure the sustainable preservation of heritage and sites while developing tourism activities for economic and
social development at the local level.
The case of Petra will be used as a major case study together with other examples of approaches and
implementations in the management of urban historic centres, monuments and archaeological sites,
museums, itineraries and routes, etc., from around the Mediterranean.
“The management of cultural heritage sites and artefacts in the Mediterranean region needs
considerable improvement. The workshop will produce a list of recommendations for approaches more
tailored to needs of Mediterranean partner countries” says C. Dabdoub‐Nasser, Team Leader of the
Regional Monitoring Support Unit for Euromed Heritage 4.
This workshop is organised in partnership with the Directorate of Antiquities of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and Al‐Hussein Bin Talal University, and with the collaboration and support of the Petra Development and Tourism Region Authority.
