On July 2 &3, the regional EU-funded programme Med Culture held consultation meetings in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Haifa with representatives of Israeli ministries and cultural practitioners. These focused on policies relating to Israel's cultural diversity and the geographic distribution of the culture sector in Israel.  Participants contributed views and recommendations that should help in the design of an action plan which would be implemented in partnership with Med Culture during the programme’s life cycle (2014-2018).

Med Culture is a regional EU-funded programme that kicked off last February with the aim of reinforcing the capacities of the public and private cultural sectors as vector for democratisation, and economic and social development for societies in the Southern Mediterranean.

Israel is a signatory of the 1995 Barcelona Declaration, a member of the Union for the Mediterranean and a participant in the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP).
