Descripción del proyecto
Los problemas económicos de la Europa rural impulsan una solución turística innovadora
En los tranquilos rincones de las regiones rurales europeas persisten los retos económicos, que amenazan el tejido de las comunidades locales. Estas zonas periféricas, que luchan contra el turismo estacional y la disminución de la población, se enfrentan a un futuro incierto. En este contexto, el equipo del proyecto CULTURALITY, financiado con fondos europeos, pretende revitalizar dichos paisajes aprovechando su potencial cultural y creativo, promoviendo el desarrollo sostenible y fomentando el turismo durante todo el año. La intención es fomentar la creación de empleo y el asentamiento estable de la población. El equipo del proyecto hace hincapié en la inclusión y atiende las necesidades de grupos vulnerables como las mujeres, los ancianos y los jóvenes. La fuerza del proyecto CULTURALITY reside en su método colaborativo y multidisciplinar, que reúne a equipos internacionales para garantizar un rico tapiz de conocimientos y resultados óptimos.
Objetivo
The main objective of the project is to contribute to the promotion of cultural and creative tourism activities, considering the different capacities, resources, and specificities (material, creative, human...) of the territories, as a mean to help with the sustainable development of peripheral rural areas, favoring job creation and population settlement. For this, the potential of its cultural heritage will be researched, taking into account both the artisan material culture (techniques, materials, patterns and decorative elements), as well as the intangible culture (music, oral knowledge and culinary traditions) as a resource.
To promote non-seasonal tourism as a form of sustainable development with a stable population settlement we are going to research the crafts linked to the territory and their implications, but we will also carry out a documentation of the productive processes. First and foremost, we are going to cater to the necessities of the local communities and pay attention to aspects related to societal groups at risk of exclusion, such as women, the elderly and the youth.
All this will be developed from a multidisciplinary perspective, for which we will count on the various teams —most of them linked to different countries— that will be part of the consortium. Each of these partners will contribute to the development, as well as to the final result of the project through input directly related to their area of expertise: for example, among the collaborators we have intellectual teams specialized in the digitalization of heritage, research, or communication and dissemination, as well as as various institutions that will act as a testing ground for the more practical parts of the proposal. However, if something will characterize our work, it will be the constant collaboration between all parties, as well as the exchange of advice and experiences that will help to enrich collective knowledge and guarantee optimal results.
