Actions in Creative Tourism.
The team of Culture and Prosperity s.c.e. attended the series of seminars organized by Development Olympia (LEADER project implementing body and ENERDECA implementing partner) in Ancient Olympia in 2024.
The ENERDECA project (Enhancing European Rural Development Capabilities) is a LEADER Transnational Cooperation Project, i.e. it is implemented jointly by nineteen (19) Local Action Groups (bodies implementing LEADER programs) with Kavala Development S.A. as Lead Partner. It focuses on the development and promotion of a distinct product of Creative Tourism, which will help local communities to highlight the cultural and environmental capital of LEADER areas and exchange experiences and know-how.
The Plaster Casting Workshop is a service that can contribute to the implementation of actions in the context of the Creative Industry, Innovation and Creative Tourism through education as well as be incorporated into existing or under creation actions planned by the Region or the Municipality for citizens, visitors and tourists. It is based on contact with the material and the creativity that the participants will experience. The knowledge of the stages of processing and production of the material is an exciting experience for anyone interested in getting to know in a simple and pleasant way, the use of gypsum material in Greek architecture and the decoration of buildings.
Following the concepts of Creative Tourism, Creative Industry and Social Innovation, we created an educational program whose aim is for participants to create a working relationship with trainers, through the transmission of information and knowledge transfer, in order to upgrade their educational knowledge, and to be properly prepared to walk the "Path of the Gypsum Craftsman".
