YOUTH4CULTURE ERASMUS+ PROJECT
YOUTH INVOLVEMENT ON CULTURAL PROMOTION AND CULTURAL TOURISM
This small-scale partnership project aims to increase youth involvement on cultural promotion and cultural tourism in European Cultural Routes of the European Council. As it was highlighted in 2019, Cultural Routes need to reinforce the civic involvement in their initiatives. At this regard, the European Cultural Routes that will participate in this project will work on improve the involvement of youngsters in their initiatives, also contributing to the social inclusion of those youngsters, contributing to improve their social skills, participative skills, creativity, entrepreneurship spirit, as well as other skills as solidarity, team working or volunteering.
This project will work on the exchange of best practices in the promotion of civic involvement and specially of youngsters, exploring how to adapt those good practices to the different contexts of the Cultural Routes. Cultural Routes will implement and participate in different activities as study visits, workshops and specialized training courses for their staff, in order to learn and improve their skills and working methods related to this main topic.
Moreover, the project will work in ensuring that youngsters will consider the importance of Cultural Heritage in its development in the educational and social field. Also, will work, analyse, and share the benefits that ensuring the knowledge and cultural experiences can give to our communities. The partnership will also ensure the participation of youngsters together with elders as they knew all related stories of their communities, and by the way, it will ensure the intergenerational approach and the integration of elder people.
In this sense, the project will be a partnership that will focus on involving the youngsters through information to motivate them to participate in the organized local cultural initiatives.

The CLUSTER SERVAGRI Italy-Tunisia project (ENI CBC Program)
The overall goal of the project, in which “Routes of the Olive Tree” participate as an affiliated partner, is the joint development of strategies and pilot actions for the optimization of the agri-food sectors, capable of strengthening and making more competitive vital agricultural production in these two zones. It also aims to increase the quality and safety levels of foods while adhering to the principles of sustainable development.
A specific objective of the Italy-Tunisia Cluster Servagri project is the restructuring of the cross-border olive oil sectors and the strengthening of an economic cluster of fully detectable and quality common virgin / organic / standardized olive oil, in order to meet its production and distribution internationally.
The project aims: to improve knowledge and skills, to strengthen contacts and collaborations, in specific and visible results.
The intermediate results concern: the research and strengthening of the existing specifications for the improvement of the quality standards, the restructuring, strengthening, development of model networks of Small and Medium Enterprises and business organizations based on quality, accessibility and safety of the olive oil sector. Also, the implementation of agreements for the creation of clusters aiming at the commercialization of quality olive oil, pilot cooperation actions between bodies for the harmonization of regulations / legal standards, cluster capitalization and the electronic supply platform.
The beneficiaries of the project are: new households and women entrepreneurs, farmers and operators of the olive oil sector, consumers and the population of the target area of the project, etc.
The know-how acquired through the SERVAGRI project and the experience of its Observatory will strengthen the process of cross-border cooperation and the introduction of innovative procedures and techniques and, in the form of an “umbrella” that will extend to both countries, will ensure satisfactory results in favor of a sustainable olive cultivation.

THE FAB ROUTE PROJECT
DIGITAL SKILLS TO PROMOTE EU CULTURAL ROUTES (Programme Erasmus +)
The “Routes of the Olive Tree” participate in this very interesting project aimed at developing innovative digital skills for the promotion of cultural routes recognized by the Council of Europe.
Its general objective is to design a new training methodology and educational module aimed at utilizing and enriching the knowledge and transversal competences of the staff members and collaborators of the European cultural routes recognized by the Council of Europe, in order to improve Cultural Routes management and promotion in the field of sustainable and cultural tourism.
The creation of new innovative training methodologies and educational modules with the aim of enhancing the skills of the staff and the bodies in the promotion and development of Cultural Routes means:
- Strengthening the organizations/bodies’ networks managing the EU Cultural Routes at European level through the development of a partnership aimed at fostering constructive cultural and skills exchange
- Development of a new and up-to-date professional profile capable of managing cultural routes and building a strong relationship with local, private and public bodies to promote sustainable tourism
- Increasing the skills of cultural routes, organizations and institutions that are active in the field of culture and tourism and participate directly or indirectly in the activities of the project
In this sense, the project will promote some of the priorities of the Council of Europe’s Cultural Routes program, which are perfectly in line with the horizontal priorities of the Erasmus + program: research and development cooperation, enhancing memory, history and European heritage, the promotion of European cultural heritage.
It is certain that the development of this project will bring great added value and contribution to all types of institutions working in the field, as well as to the organizations leading Cultural Routes recognized from the Council of Europe.
The Fab Route project is funded by the European Erasmus + program and will last until the end of 2022.
