Committee 3's meeting in Ustron (14-16 May 2008) started with a Seminar on cultural tourism. Experts from the University of Pannonia (Veszprém), ICOMOS' International Cultural Tourism Committee and the Centre for Cultural Tourism Research from Zuyd University in Maastricht gave the participants an overview of the factors that determine the success of cultural tourism. Furthermore, strategies for regional policy development and management were presented.

The presentations also included innovative examples and projects notably from the Regions of Slaskie, Västerbotten and Devon as well as the Working Community of the Danube countries.
Building on this first exploration, AER will foster interregional cooperation in cultural tourism by opening new strands, notably through the AER visiting cards and the AER tourism website and by integrating this aspect in its future project database.
In autumn 2007, the European Commission launched an online public consultation on Multilinguism in the EU. More than 2,000 contributions were received and will be used to adopt a "Communication on multilingualism" on September, 17th 2008, including "proposals for actions that further promote language learning and linguistic diversity, and address citizens' needs as efficiently as possible".

On the basis of a proposal from the Region of Västerbotten, Committee 3 has launched a working group on "Culture and its impact on health". Starting from the observation that cultural exercise and interaction can enhance a person's well being and improve its health status, AER wants to establish contacts with existing networks, practitioners and researchers in order to inventory interesting research projects and examples of best practices. Regions that dispose of experience in this field are invited to share it and to send their contributions (see contact details below). The work will lead up to a presentation in a European conference that is supposed to take place in autumn 2010.
- Interested Regions should contact the AER Committee 3 Secretariat.

The AER Committee 3 played a major role in the current discussions on the new and future EU cultural policies, following the publication of the “Communication on a European Agenda for Culture in a Globalised World”.

The AER will continue to monitor the discussions to ensure that the regional competencies in culture are respected, that EU cultural programmes are targeted sufficiently to the regions and that European cultural policies also cover non-EU member states.
Heritage is the major component of our Regional and European cultural identities. As such, it has a vital role for strengthening regional and European co-operation, mutual understanding and unity.
Cultural cooperation, a key element for strengthening regional and European co-operation, has been at the heart of AER activities for many years and cultural heritage is a central priority for Committee 3.
