The workshop will bring together scholars, researchers, students and other participants from Europe and beyond to exchange and share their research outcomes in the field of Cultural Routes studies.
The event welcomes theoretical perspectives, state of the art research reports, case studies and policy evaluations relating to all aspects of cultural routes.
Research presentations will focus on Cultural Routes, including the following themes:

Cultural heritage (preservation, enhancement, interpretation, management, etc.)

Tourism (cultural tourism, sustainable tourism, slow tourism, tourism indicators and measurement, emerging trends, etc.)

Community participation (local communities’ engagement, grass-roots projects, ownership of heritage, etc.)

Local development (sustainable development, heritage and tourism as engines for development, etc.)

Emerging trends in the cultural, heritage and tourism sectors (use of virtual reality and digital technologies, creativity and resilience, funding and finance for post-Covid recovery, etc.)

For the next two years the Iron Age Danube Route will be one of the partners of the NEXT ROUTES project, funded by the EU Erasmus+ programme!
The NEXT ROUTES project focuses on an innovative approach to heritage management. Through planned activities, the project will reinforce Cultural Routes staff skills and knowledge related to digital and creative competencies, support Cultural Routes in the digital transition and help them manage and disseminate Cultural Routes contents in an engaging and effective way by promoting their cultural heritage through innovative gamification approaches. The project represents a great opportunity for the staff of the Cultural Routes involved, and will provide them with an easy-to-use tool and manual for the enhancement of the presentation of cultural heritage on their respective territories, thus making it accessible to all interested members and stakeholders.

The project partnership, consisting of 8 partners from 6 countries and led by the Phoenician’s Route, brings together Cultural Routes of the Council of Europe (the Phoenicians’ Route (Italy), the European Route of Jewish Heritage (Luxemburg), the European Mozart Ways (Austria), the Routes of the Olive Tree (Greece), the ATRIUM – Architecture of Totalitarian Regimes of the 20th Century In Europe’s Urban Memory (Italy) and the Iron Age Danube Route (Croatia) with the Mobile Idea Srl (Italy), which is one of the leading private companies in the EU specialized in technological innovation applied to the cultural and tourism sector, and the Breda University of Applied Sciences (the Netherlands).

The project ROUTES4ROUTES will increase Iron Age Danube Route staff competencies in archaeological heritage management through learning from already existing and tested good practices in the area of cultural route management. The participants will become aware of various models and tools that can be used to better connect the route with the communities archaeological heritage is located in, to make it more visible, and to find new approaches on how to serve as a connecting platform between heritage experts and SME's and tourism workers in order to help develop new business ideas or models for creating new cultural products, which would the overall increase the value of Iron Age archaeological heritage in the Danube region and would result in measurable benefits to the local communities. During ROUTES4ROUTES project activities, we plan to collaborate with colleges from hosting organizations in exchanging expertise and good practices regarding archaeological heritage management and cultural routes management. We plan to organize a practical combination of workshops, round tables and presentations with the host organization.
