As part of the XI Euro-Mediterranean Inter-Cultural Dialogue “The Phoenicians’ Route”, the General Assembly meeting of the Phoenicians took place last week on 12 November online.  

The meeting counted the participation of Mr. Rachid Chamoun (President of the Phoenicians' Route), Mr. Antonio Barone (Director of the Phoenicians' Route), Mr. Stefano Dominioni (EPA Executive Secretary and EICR Director), Ms. Barbara Toce (Vice-President of the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities CoE), Mrs. Alessandra Priante (Director for Europe at UNWTO), as well as representatives of network members from Lebanon, Cyprus, Palestine, Greece, Albania, Croatia, Italy, Malta, Tunisia, France and Spain.

Despite this year's difficulties, the Phoenician network has developed and achieved an admirable list of goals and projects. Twenty-one new members have joined the International Confederation of the Phoenicians' Route, through national networks. The Route is furthermore implementing several EU-funded projects focused on innovation, training methodologies, exchanges of good practices, among others.
