Cultural route

Erasmus+ CLICHE cultural route

Our google map demonstrates how the local intangible heritage of Erasmus+ CLICHE 6 partner regions contributes to a shared cultural heritage.

It encourages European citizens to re-explore hidden cultural treasures by highlighting handicrafts and artisanal products. It aims to act as a channel for intercultural dialogue and promotion of a better understanding of European cultural identity using fresh technological tools to exploit cultural tourism.

This can for sure benefit local communities, since one of the important features of the programme is the way it seeks to stimulate local economies through tourism and wider cultural development.

Cultural Routes provide a recognizable platform for local creativity, artistic practice and economic development to blossom, whether through the provision of local accommodation and hospitality, the commercialisation of local products and souvenirs, or the production of local festivals and events, among other activities. Cultural routes also encourage widespread community participation in cultural activities, helping communities value their unique cultures and traditions. These are just some of the many reasons why Cultural Routes can become catalysts for sustainable development in Greece.

Erasmus+ CLICHE 6 partner regions (especially inland) have many hidden cultural treasures, most of which are ready to be highlighted and protected and ready to be offered to local citizens and to the whole world; culture has to be lived.
