CULTSENSE - Sensitizing Young Travellers to Local Cultures - (Erasmus+)

About the project

With the increase in mobility overall, and of tourism in particular, many
places have been feeling increased pressures. This has led to complaints from
local residents in those places that experience overcrowding, and since the
numbers of visitors to many places are only increasing, learning how to be a
better traveller can be part of the solution. By working directly with young
travellers, CULTSENSE aims at contributing to change this situation on the
long-term.

CULTSENSE aims to contribute to addressing the issue of the increased mobility
pressures over places and tensions and conflicts between locals and travellers.
Through specific educational approach to a more understanding attitude towards
other cultures, CULTSENSE aims at providing tools to HE students, who are the
biggest share of young travellers, and teaching staff. By focusing on Tourism,
Leisure and Culture (TLC) programs, the project aims at providing tools and
disseminate them largely through different channels and networks (such as WYSE
and ATLAS).
