European Cultural Routes as key actors in the promotion of European cultural heritage
Project
WalkEUR is a cooperation project, co-funded by the European Union under the Creative Europe programme under the EACEA-32-2019 call. The overall objective of the project is to improve Cultural Routes' skills and competences, through the capacities of their cultural operators. CRs will put in practice pilot experiences that will contribute to the process of capacity building in 4 main topic areas: Sources, Story Telling, Cultural Management and Citizens involvement.
