E-ROUTES - Time Travel Routes Through Europe

Project description

The project Time travel routes through Europe (E-ROUTES) is designed with the aim of delivering a new approach in presenting European travel routes through GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums) holdings and artistic material that have mutual cultural denominations for the countries participating in the project. The topic of travel routes is understood as a space for the intercultural dialogue and the basis for both cultural and tourist thematic routes that at intertwined levels connect the geographical space and the periods from the 18th century up until present time. This way travel or journey, here observed as both individual and collective human experience, is presented as a way of communication that connects places and people through a common experience, which provides the basis for the shared cultural heritage and wider European perspective that crosses time, space, and borders. E-ROUTES is addressing the growing need of presenting and promoting scattered cultural heritage and contemporary artistic production related to travel experience in Europe both in the past and in the present time.

The project objective is to collect the most important digitized or in digital form cultural and artistic objects from various cultural institutions and to provide material for the creation of thematic travel routes that follow the path of cultural heritage in four European countries: Croatia, Italy, Serbia and Slovenia. The project will deliver a multi-layered platform in the form of digital collections, user-friendly application with augmented reality, multicultural artistic and specialist communication and exchange program. This multi-layered platform will provide means for the research, selection, digitization, presentation and usage of the travel routes material, such as travelogues, diaries, biographies, works of art, images, photos, etc.
