Religious tourism has a solid grounding in literature and in practice as pilgrimages demonstrate. Every year numerous pilgrims travel to discover religious places such as sanctuaries, churches, convents, abbeys, hermitages and sacred places.
On 9 March 2022 the front office of the rurAllure technological platform was presented to the Consortium partners via a video conference by Gvam together with the University of Vigo and KIFU.
The rurAllure associate partner, Galician Vía Künig Cultural Association, has been in charge of the popularization of the Vía Künig since 2019.
In the beginning of 2022 the municipality of Celle San Vito – Apulia, Italy –joined the rurAllure project as an associate partner! The town will be involved in the pilot project “Thermal Heritage and others on the Ways to Rome”, contributing to the identification of needs and opportunities for the promotion of heritage sites in the vicinity of the Via Francigena, in particular along its stretch in southern Italy.
The Vía Künig cultural association based in Galicia, Spain, joined the rurAllure project as an associate partner.
By travelling along the Via Francigena, a trotter will inevitably discover milliards of monuments, traditions, amazing cuisine and find new friends, but not only. Walking along the Italian stretch a pilgrim will surely enjoy thermal springs, located just along the route.
On 24 February 2022, MOHU – Centre for Advanced Studies in Mobility & Humanities at the University of Padua organized a Virtual World Cafè for their Master students.
The special session, proposed by FuoriVia Cultural Association, will be held during the conference “Smart and Sustainable Planning for Cities and Regions – SSPCR 2022” at the EURAC Research in Bozen on 18-22 July 2022.
This project has been funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme under grant agreement no 101004887.
