Why this platform

One home for the project's most important tangible output

Roots & Routes brings cultural heritage, digital storytelling and sustainable tourism together in a single open resource. It stays online and free after the project ends — a permanent tool for youth, educators, local authorities and the tourism sector.

PRIORITY · YOUTH

Active citizenship & entrepreneurship

Young people become cultural-heritage ambassadors and develop sustainable-tourism initiatives in their own communities.

PRIORITY · HORIZONTAL

Common values & participation

Heritage is protected as a shared European value, with youth taking an active, visible role.

PRIORITY · YOUTH

Quality & innovation in youth work

Open training modules give youth workers new, digital, ready-to-use methods and materials.

The partnership

Built by three organisations, owned by young Europeans

Each partner leads part of the platform — technical structure, training content, and youth digital storytelling — so the result reflects three cultures and one shared method.
