Each year in late May or early June, a Training Academy for the Cultural Routes managers and partners is organised in close collaboration with one of the certified Cultural Routes of the Council of Europe.
The Training Academy aims to provide training on specific current issues in the field of cultural heritage management and tourism promotion to Cultural Routes operators. The Training Academy offers hands-on approaches to the selected topic through the participation of academic or professional experts with whom the Cultural Routes operators can have some exchanges of views.
The 12th edition of the Training Academy on Cultural Routes will take place in Torres Vedras, Portugal, from 11 to 13 June 2025, organised by the European Institute of Cultural Routes (EICR) and the European Federation of Napoleonic Cities, carrier network of the Destination Napoleon (Cultural Route of the Council of Europe since 2015) and the European Federation Iter Vitis, carrier network of the Iter Vitis Route (Cultural Route of the Council of Europe since 2009) in cooperation with the Rota Histórica das Linhas de Torres, the Association of Portuguese Wine Municipalities (AMPV) and the Torres Vedras Municipality.
The 2025 edition of the Training Academy will be dedicated to “Cooperation and Cultural Routes”. A follow-up will be available after the Training Academy here.
