RECOGNITIONS
The initiative «Routes of the Olive Tree» was inspired by the love for a tree that symbolises peace and well-being, and the desire for communication and dialogue.
It was officially recognised by the UNESCO as International Cultural Route of Intercultural Dialogue & Sustainable development in 2003 and as Cultural Route of the Council of Europe by the Council of Europe in 2005. These two very important distinctions confirm the dynamic of this ambitious endeavour and encourage its initiators to continue pursuing its objectives.
