Portimão Museum wins 2010 Council of Europe Museum Prize
Strasbourg,
08.12.2009 – The Council of Europe Museum Prize for 2010 has been awarded
to the Portimão Museum in Algarve in Portugal.
The committee's
decision was motivated by the success story of the museum, the relevance of its
theme and the extent of its educational programme to the benefit of the local
community. The Portimão Museum housed in a former sardine canning factory on
the estuary of the Arade River has successfully restored the
industrial/historical heritage of the Portimão area.
Its permanent
exhibition traces the interaction of man with his environment over a period of
five millennia, with particular emphasis on the sardine canning industry.
Underwater archaeology also plays a special role, with an extensive collection
of items that have been recovered from the River Arade during successive
underwater research projects, such as sunken ships from civilisations dating
back over three millennia.
Portimão Museum has
succeeded in increasing awareness of cultural identity in a region very much
dominated by mass tourism.
The Council of
Europe Museum Prize has been awarded annually since 1977 to a museum judged to
have made a significant contribution to the understanding of European cultural
heritage. Museums in the 49 countries of the European Cultural Convention are
eligible to enter for the prize.
The winning museum
will be presented with a bronze statuette, “La femme aux beaux
seins” by Joan Miró, which the museum will keep for a year, as well as a
diploma and a cheque for 5,000 euros. The presentation ceremony will take place
in Strasbourg in April, during the Parliamentary Assembly's spring session.
The prize is
decided by the Committee on Culture, Science and Education of the Council of
Europe Parliamentary Assembly (PACE) on the basis of a shortlist presented by a
jury of the European Museum Forum, and forms part of the European Museum of the
Year Awards.
Recent winners include Zeeuws Museum in the Netherlands (2009), Norway’s
Svalbard Museum (2008) and Geneva’s International Museum of the
Reformation (2007).

 [08/12/2009]
Andrew McIntosh (United Kingdom, SOC), rapporteur of PACE Committee on
Culture, on respect for media freedom, said he was shocked by the
increase in attacks on journalists and media – at least twenty
journalists have been killed since 2007 in Europe,
including thirteen in Russia.“It is important to collate
information on violations of media freedom on a continuing basis, to
analyse this information systematically country by country and
disseminate it to the governments of member states and to the
media,” said Andrew McIntosh. "We need to draw as much
attention as possible to these violations," he added. (more..)

“We cannot continue to offer exclusive protection for copyright
in an open and global society, where the new opportunities afforded by
the Internet have led to the wide dissemination of creative
works,” said today José Luis Arnaut (Portugal, EPP/CD),
rapporteur of the Parliamentary Assembly's Committee on Culture.
“We now have to strike a balance between an adequate level of
remuneration for the creative effort, the right to privacy, freedom of
_expression_ and access to information,” he added. (more..)

[08/12/2009]
Should women facing gender-based
violence in their home countries be entitled to seek asylum in Europe? What
types of persecution do women, in particular face, which cause them to
seek asylum? How can traffickers be stopped from exploiting them? Are
Council of Europe member states accountable, beyond their borders, for
the violations of fundamental rights of migrant women living in Europe?
These and other questions will be debated at a parliamentary conference
on “Migration and violence against women in Europe” in
Paris on 10 and 11 December 2009, attended by some 80 parliamentarians
and experts from around 25 countries. (more..)
