The Euro-Mediterranean Cultural Heritage Agency

The Agenzia per il patrimonio culturale euromediterraneo (Agency for the Conservation and Exploitation of the Cultural Heritage of the Mediterranean) is an organisation that focuses on the preservation, protection and enhancement of cultural heritage in the Mediterranean region.  It participated in and coordinated the European project "Pos matome Griko". The project focused on Griko, the language spoken in one of the two Greek-speaking areas of Southern Italy, in the wider region of Grecia Salentina in southern Apulia. Through this initiative, the aim was to preserve and protect Griko as a valuable element of the shared Mediterranean Cultural Heritage.
