12 local and regional representatives committed to shaping the future of cultural tourism will have the opportunity to benefit from a fully-funded peer-learning scheme that follows the pilot/mirror approach.
Via quarterly community conversations, dedicated interviews, tailored webinars, and offline learning labs (Brussels in 2022 and Naples in 2023), the community members will interact closely with 6 pilot ecosystems committed to fostering regional development through circular cultural tourism.
The open call and peer-learning programme will be presented on Tuesday, 13th April, 14.00-16.15 CET, in the frame of a webinar on “Creating destinations after a global pandemic: The new competitive advantage of remote areas”.
The webinar will be opened with an inspirational speech by Emma Taveri, Destination Makers Chief Visoinary Officer.

Digital nomad for passion, during the lockdown she came back to her hometown Brindisi to ‘be the change’ and make her expertise available to the city. She received, as recognition of her commitment, the role of Councillor for Tourism, Destination Marketing and Creativity.
