DECLARATION OF INTENT The Reformation process - with its beginning in the early 12 th Century and remarkably spreading especially in the 16 th Century - induced changes in clerical and religious order and in European society that impact social, cultural and political spheres until today. Its cultural heritage is manifested in a wide variety of tangible and intangible legacies all across Europe. The Routes of Reformation provide the outstanding opportunity to show the interrelations and value of the different currents and movements of Reformation and its evolution in time and space. The Routes of Reformation are developed within the Interreg Project European Cultural Route of Reformation ECRR. To guide the process of establishment and consolidation of the Route, a Transnational Action Plan has been drawn up in the framework of this project. Its main goals are: - To highlight and raise awareness of the bonding character of Reformation and its heritage, as well as the long-lasting and far-reaching impacts of its legacies in Europe and beyond; - To valorise, enhance and promote the Reformation-themed Cultural Heritage in Europe; - To reach a larger audience and create awareness on the different aspects, peculiarities and unique features of Reformation movements; - To support local economies and sustainable tourism; - To promote the values of solidarity, hospitality, interculturalism and cooperation, by fostering learning, exchanges and common projects among the partners along the Routes. The signing institutions and actors confirm their willingness and declare their intention to crown the Routes of Reformation with success.
