It aims is to develop sellable experiences rooted in the Atlantic Area’s intangible culture heritage in seven areas on Europe’s Atlantic coast. The partners include Brecon Beacons National Park Authority in Wales, Rio Maior Municipality in Portugal, Cork Institute of Technology in Ireland, the University of Vigo; Regional Government for Cantabria and the Andalusian Agency of Cultural Institutions in Spain. There are also eleven associate partners involved, including Ring of Gullion Handcrafts and Art and the Fiddlers Green Festival.

The products will be conglomerated into an Atlantic Area Route, allowing the project to raise the profile of the sector through transnationally organised marketing. Show less
