Other partners are the cities of Bari and Ferrara (I) and Labin (HR), as well as the University of Zadar (HR).

- perform training sessions primarily addressed to tourist guides on the ATRIUM themes and its difficult storytelling
- set up and produce ad-hoc ATRIUM signposting for the Route sites and buildings
