On Friday 28th October the workshop continued at the National Museum of Roman Art in Mérida. The city was the capital of a roman province called Lusitania and the land which today is Portugal belonged to that province. The last conference of the workshop entitled Lusitania, a common Roman past of Spain and Portugal, was pronounced by the director of the Museum, Mr. José María Álvarez. He talked about the close relationships between the Museum and Portugal, especially the collaborations with the National Museum of Archaeology in Lisbon and the Monographic Museum of Conimbriga (Coimbra). It exists a way of cooperation which is permanently opened, sharing experiences and collaborating in archaeological investigations. As a result, there are several books published and compiled in a collection called Studia Lusitana, where there are a very important number of participants from Portugal and texts written in Portuguese.
The workshop continued with a technical meeting to deal questions of the SCULTBORD Project as dissemination, use of the blog and other communication tools and to fix the dates of the following workshops in Bulgaria (April-May 2012) and Hungary (June 2012).
As the SCULTBORD has to prepare a Manual of Best Practises, the Cross border Initiatives Office of the Regional Government of Extremadura prepared some templates with examples of different activities organized in the region to spread the Portuguese culture among adult population.
