Intangible cultural heritage inspired by designated land and seascapes in the Atlantic Area

The Atlantic Area regions have a rich intangible cultural heritage but the ‘intangible’ element of cultural heritage has received relatively little attention in Atlantic Area. AtlanticCultureScapes will focus on enhancing the tourism offering through the sustainable integration of Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) thereby stimulating increased economic gain from tourism along the Atlantic Area, which will enhance the lives of those who live, work or visit its regions. The project will deliver creative solutions and develop innovative mechanisms to maximise common opportunities, by supporting stakeholders to collaborate in order to offer visitors a truly unique and regional experience reflective of the Atlantic culture, heritage and identity. The project will generate an inventory of ICH entrepreneurs in partner areas and from this base stimulate proactive collaboration amongst networks of entrepreneurs working in this field and support them in their development. The products will be conglomerated into an Atlantic Area Route, allowing the project to raise the profile of the sector through transnationally organised marketing including publicising the ICH inventory and seeking the involvement of other entrepreneurs across the Atlantic Area.
