and the Ukrainian House in Przemyśl.

Partners: Ukrainian House in Przemyśl Foundation (Poland), Federation of Polish Organisations in Ukraine (Ukraine), Lviv Region Society of Polish Culture (Ukraine), “Polish community” Association (Poland) and Association of Ukrainians in Poland (Poland).

Budget: EUR 2,556,112.90.

Lack of well-equipped facilities conducive to meeting and promoting one’s own culture and history by national minorities in Przemyśl and Lviv contributed to cooperation in the joint project “The Galician Scene”. The general objective of the project “The Galician Scene” is to make the residents of Lviv and Przemyśl aware of the importance of pro-moting their local culture and history in Poland and Ukraine. The project provides for the following activities: building cross-border cooperation in order to promote the cul-ture and history of the Polish and Ukrainian minorities in Lviv and Przemyśl by creating a long-term programme of activities promoting and preserving historical heritage and creating suffi cient facilities for current and future cross-border cooperation (investments and infrastructure activities in the Ukrainian Home in Przemyśl and the Polish House in Lviv will help in this regard). Joint implementation of the project will also contribute to the establishment of cross-border cooperation in the area of promotion and preservation of the cultural and historical heritage of the Polish and Ukrainian minorities.⁶⁹

Under the Financial Perspective 2014-2020, on 1 August 2018 the second Call for Propos-als was announced, to be completed by the end of October 2018. The call is open solely for the HERITAGE Thematic Objective with regard to both of its Priorities:

1. Promotion of local culture and history.

2. Promotion and preservation of natural heritage.

The second Call for Proposals is dedicated to micro-projects (projects with small budget).

Micro-projects consist mainly of non-investment activities, promoting cooperation, establishing new cross-border contacts and building neighbourly relations, exchange of experiences, as well as social initiatives related to local culture and history and natural heritage.

The Programme will support events related to culture, arts, sports, education, promo-tion of history and natural heritage and all similar events promoting cross-border coop-eration, cultivating and spreading common traditions of the border area, cooperation between schools and universities, non-governmental institutions related to tourism and culture on both/all three sides of the border. The aim of micro-projects is also to promote cultural minorities and cultural diversity and the development of local communities.⁷⁰

The assessment of the implementation of respective projects is related to the achieve-ment of the following objectively verifi ed indicators:

• the expected results for each priority, and the corresponding result indica-tors, with a baseline value and a target value;

• the output indicators for each priority, including the quantifi ed target val-ues, which are expected to contribute to the results.⁷¹

Some of output indicators come from the ENI CBC ‘Common Output Indicators’ devel-oped by the European External Action Service (EEAS) with the support of the Interact ENPI project in order to increase accountability and facilitate reporting on progress at in-strument level. The indicators we are interested in that relate to historical heritage in the Programme Poland-Belarus-Ukraine are presented in the table below.

Table 1. Indicators in the Programme Poland-Belarus-Ukraine – Heritage Thematic Objective.

Cooperation in the area of cultural heritage between Poland, Belarus and Ukraine in projects implemented under the Financial Perspective 2007-2013, as well as projects implemented under the Financial Perspective 2014-2020, achieves the indicators of the Programme, so the Programme indicators have been or will be achieved.

From the perspective of the implementation of the Programme Poland-Belarus-Ukraine, it should be emphasised that cooperation with the Ukrainian and Belarusian parties has been very good, although it is characteristic that entities which are benefi ciaries of a giv-en project co-fi nanced by the European Union ggiv-enerally continue to cooperate with each other after its completion. Therefore, EU funds play the role of a fl ywheel of sorts that creates multi-faceted cooperation in various areas. There is no doubt that such practices have a signifi cant impact on the economic, but also cultural revival of the Eastern border areas of Poland and the Western border areas of Belarus and Ukraine. This also applies to interpersonal relations, the emergence of long-term friendships, and positive mutual ex-periences lead to a situation where, for the third time already, some partners jointly apply for further grants for new projects.
