Green Culture

Green Culture is a national project designed to equip cultural organizations with the tools and expertise necessary for sustainable transformation. Funded by the European Union through the Next Generation EU program and supported by the Italian Ministry of Culture under the TOCC – Capacity Building for the Ecological Transition scheme, Green Culture exemplifies a best practice in fostering environmentally responsible cultural management. Launched by a consortium comprising the Circolo del Design, Fondazione Santagata for the Economics of Culture, and Legambiente Piemonte e Valle d’Aosta, the project targets two main groups: cultural institutions seeking to embark on ecological transition journeys, and professionals aiming to become Green Coordinators—specialists trained to guide and oversee sustainable practices within cultural settings. The program unfolds over several phases: Training (May–June 2024): Participants engage in a 25-hour online course featuring case studies, best practices, and interactive sessions focused on sustainability in the cultural sector Monitoring (from July 2024): Cultural entities begin implementing sustainability measures, utilizing tools and guidance provided during the training phase. Co-Design Workshops (Spring 2025): In-person workshops facilitate collaboration between cultural organizations and their assigned Green Coordinators to develop tailored ecological transition roadmaps   Website: https://www.green-culture.it/ Contacts: greenculture@circolodeldesign.it

IT.A.CÀ the Italian Festival of Responsible Tourism

Established in 2009 in Bologna, IT.A.CÀ is Italy's first and only festival dedicated to responsible tourism. Its name cleverly combines the Bolognese dialect phrase "ît a cà" (meaning "are you at home?") with a nod to Ithaca, the legendary homeland of Ulysses, symbolizing the journey towards sustainable and conscious travel. Over the years, IT.A.CÀ has evolved into a nationwide, multi-stage event that spans from May to November, encompassing over 20 locations across 11 Italian regions. The festival offers a diverse array of activities, including eco-tours, community workshops, cultural performances, and educational seminars, all designed to promote sustainable tourism practices and environmental stewardship. A core mission of IT.A.CÀ is the preservation and promotion of Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH). By engaging local communities in the storytelling of their traditions, customs, and histories, the festival fosters a deeper appreciation for cultural diversity and encourages the transmission of ICH to future generations. In 2018, IT.A.CÀ received the UNWTO Award for Innovation in Non-Governmental Organizations, recognizing its excellence in promoting sustainable tourism and cultural preservation. Through its innovative approach, IT.A.CÀ not only champions environmental sustainability but also serves as a dynamic platform for cultural exchange and community empowerment, exemplifying how tourism can be a force for positive change.

GreenHeritage project

The Green Heritage Project is a European initiative aimed at supporting the integration of sustainability and climate resilience into the preservation and management of Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH). The project is coordinated by Italy’s Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR) and began in 2022, co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme. The project seeks innovative tools and methodologies able to promote adaptive and systemic approaches to better manage Climate Change (CC). It, also, aspires to function as an urgent reminder that climate change is present, affecting both directly and indirectly all aspects of Europe’s cultural heritage. The GreenHeritage project has designed map of ICH case studies across Europe and a blended learning programme that adopts a mixed educational model to deliver high-quality digital content and a comprehensive learning experience. It is tailored for professionals in the cultural sector, bearers of Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH), and interested members of the public. The programme is structured into two parts: an online learning component, delivered via a dedicated digital platform, and an in-person component, organized through four workshops hosted in different European countries. The online portion includes four thematic modules: Module 1: An introduction to Intangible Cultural Heritage, providing a foundational overview. Module 2: Exploration of ICH and climate change, focusing on environmental threats and protective measures. Module 3: Analysis of the challenges and opportunities that climate change presents to ICH. Module 4: Use of digital tools and technologies for safeguarding intangible cultural traditions Website: https://greenheritage-project.eu/ Contact: info@greenheritage-project.eu

La Réserve des Arts

La Réserve des Arts is a French non-profit organization founded in 2008 with the mission to promote a circular, sustainable, and socially inclusive economy within the cultural, artistic, and creative sectors. It responds to the environmental and economic challenges faced by these industries by offering practical, accessible solutions for the reuse of materials that would otherwise go to waste. Its core service is the collection, valorization (i.e., sorting, processing, and repurposing), and redistribution of discarded or surplus materials from artistic production, scenography, fashion, and cultural events. These materials—ranging from textiles and wood to plastics, metal, and exhibition furnishings—are then made available to its members at significantly reduced prices through its dedicated outlets in Montreuil, Paris, and Marseille. Beyond material reuse, La Réserve des Arts has developed a robust ecosystem of services to encourage a shift toward more responsible creative practices. It provides professional training and certification programmes to teach best practices in reuse and sustainable design, organizes educational workshops for both institutions and individuals, and runs awareness campaigns to foster a culture of resource conservation. For creators needing workspaces, the organization offers tool libraries, rentable workshops, and artistic residencies that support experimentation with eco-friendly methods. It also collaborates with schools, museums, theatres, and event organizers to support eco-design and waste reduction strategies across the sector.   The impact of La Réserve des Arts is both environmental and social. It diverts hundreds of tons of materials from landfill each year, giving them a second life and drastically reducing the environmental footprint of the arts. At the same time, it supports a diverse community of students, emerging artists, and professionals—often with limited means—by giving them affordable access to quality resources. Membership is open to individuals and organizations working in creative fields, with options tailored to students, freelancers, and larger institutions. Overall, La Réserve des Arts serves as a powerful example of how sustainability can be embedded into artistic practice, combining ecological responsibility with creative innovation and social solidarity.

Living Museums in Castile and León

The Living Museums in Castile and León initiative is an innovative practice of sustainable cultural heritage management that combines the protection of intangible and tangible heritage with the reduction of environmental impact and the promotion of the development of local areas. This initiative facilitates tourism to monuments, museums and interpretation centres located in rural and less visited areas, through an intelligent system of admission time management based on 'on demand' opening, i.e. when there are no more bookings. This system keeps the sites closed until there are no more bookings, thus avoiding fixed and unnecessary openings that would consume energy and resources. Firstly, it significantly reduces the environmental footprint associated with lighting, heating and building management by rationalising the use of energy and material resources. Secondly, it disperses the concentrated flow of tourists, allowing for a more balanced distribution of spectators in time and space, in order to preserve the integrity of the sites and avoid overcrowding, which is often the cause of environmental and cultural disruption. In addition, the 'on demand' management system encourages more careful planning by tourists, who are faced with a system designed to improve sustainability.   From an economic and social point of view, the initiative supports the economy of local rural areas, creating a number of business and employment opportunities for businesses and cultural operators who manage the sites and related services. The dissemination of slow and responsible tourism also promotes the valorisation of traditions, crafts and local production, contributing to the conservation of intangible assets related to material culture, craft practices and oral traditions.   Concrete examples are the Torreón de Haza in Burgos (Figure 3) or the Archaeological Hall of Medinaceli in Soria, where the on-demand opening system is already in operation, demonstrating how technological innovation can be combined with heritage conservation and environmental sustainability. This model is also in line with UNESCO's recommendations for the sustainable management of intangible cultural heritage, which stress the importance of involving local communities and implementing practices that respect the natural and cultural environment that surrounds them. In short, the Living Museums of Castilla y León are an example of good practice that promotes environmental awareness through the intelligent and sustainable management of resources, the promotion of green management practices and the linking of cultural heritage with the sustainable development of rural areas.   Website: https://museosvivos.com/ Contact: visitas@museosvivos.com

Guadalajara Castles for the Future Project

Guadalajara's Castles for the Future project focuses on a sustainable approach to cultural tourism, with the aim of preserving and promoting lesser-known historical fortresses. The aim is twofold: on the one hand, to save the historical and architectural heritage of the castles of Torija, Brihuega, Cifuentes and other sites; on the other hand, to promote a model of tourism management capable of reducing the impact on the most visited castles and distributing tourist flows more equitably. This differentiation of tourism products facilitates environmental effectiveness, as it limits the bottlenecks and depreciation of the most famous sites, which are often subject to the phenomena of wear and tear and abandonment. At the same time, it highlights the intangible cultural heritage linked to local traditions, stories, local legends, festivals, fairy tales and handicrafts associated with the castles and their surroundings. The project integrates environmental management tools and awareness-raising strategies aimed at visitors to the sites and professionals working in the tourism and cultural sectors. The measures implemented include the promotion of paths with a low environmental impact, the use of technology to monitor tourist flows and the training of operators in sustainable management practices. In addition, the project encourages coordination between public, private and local authorities, thus reinforcing the strong role of territorial networks for the protection and enhancement of heritage. From a management point of view, the project develops green operations by accelerating the introduction of sustainability criteria in the preservation, conservation and use of castles. This includes the use of environmentally friendly materials for restoration, efficient energy and waste management, and the promotion of sustainable transport to access the sites. The Castles for the Future project thus presents itself as a transferable model of cultural tourism, capable of promoting environmental education, safeguarding the intangible and tangible cultural heritage and promoting best practice in green management within the ecosystem of cultural businesses and organisations. Its effectiveness is demonstrated by the increase in community participation, the elimination of environmental impacts and the spread of more responsible and conscious tourism.

The Heritage Craft School

The Heritage Craft School (isl. Fornverkaskólinn) is a project with the aim to educate and inform people about traditional building craft as an important way to preserve this cultural heritage. It is run by Skagafjörður Heritage museum which preserves many turf houses. The primary materials in this building tradition are natural resources sourced from the local environment, such as stone and turf. Knowledge of old building methods is a prerequisite for being able to maintain the nation's turf house heritage. To fulfill their goals the Heritage Craft School has since 2007 organizes courses and workshops focusing primarily on turf and stone construction and timber framing but along also hosts courses on window making in cooperation with local college, driftwood processing and loom weaving in cooperation with the Skagafjörður Heritage museum. The building crafts that are taught and have remained here in Iceland were also used in other countries but the knowledge has vanished and therefore many students of the school come from abroad to attend their courses. The school has trained close to 400 participants, both from within the country and abroad, including heritage professionals and enthusiasts (Byggðasafn Skagfirðinga, n.d.). The Heritage Craft school received a recognition from the Icelandic Heritage protection association for its contribution to preserving icelandic building craft. Several specialists on cultural heritage have come from abroad to attend the courses of the school. This shows that the school has international influence in preserving cultural heritage (Minjastofnun Íslands, 2023).

Glímusamband Íslands

Glímusamband Íslands (GLÍ) is a sports association dedicated to Icelandic wrestling, known as glíma. Founded in 1905, its mission is to oversee all aspects of Icelandic wrestling and to promote and preserve this unique cultural heritage. As the leading authority on the sport, GLÍ organizes training sessions, hosts tournaments, educates the public, and works to maintain wrestling’s status as Iceland’s national sport. In addition to its domestic efforts, GLÍ also promotes and teaches Icelandic wrestling abroad (Glímusamband Íslands, n.d.). Wrestling has played a significant role in Icelandic culture since the time of the early settlers. Its techniques are influenced by styles from both Scandinavia and the British Isles. Glíma is the only sport to have survived from the Viking Age and remains deeply intertwined with Icelandic history—as both a form of combat and a symbol of national identity during Iceland’s struggle for independence (Ellertsdóttir, 2023).

Fondation du Patrimoine

Established in 1996, the Fondation du Patrimoine is a public-interest foundation dedicated to preserving France's cultural and natural heritage. In 2009, it launched the Programme Patrimoine Naturel et Biodiversité, aimed at supporting projects that intertwine the conservation of natural environments with the preservation of cultural heritage.(anbdd.fr)   This program provides financial assistance to initiatives that: Restore and eco-renovate built heritage using environmentally friendly materials and techniques. Protect and enhance biodiversity in and around heritage sites. Preserve natural landscapes and habitats of rare or threatened species (anbdd.fr).   In 2024, the program allocated €1.5 million to 31 projects across France, including the restoration of natural habitats along the Rhine's riverbanks and the renaturation of the village of Costa in Corsica. (fondation-patrimoine.org) The Fondation emphasizes the convergence of actions for built and natural heritage to create a more sustainable living environment for future generations. Projects are selected based on their ecological impact, use of local materials, and potential for community engagement.

The Batana Ecomuseum in Rovinj

The Batana Ecomuseum was established in 2003 in cooperation between heritage professionals and the local community and is dedicated to preserving the maritime heritage associated with the traditional fishing boat Batana (The Batana Ecomuseum, 2025). This community-run project emphasizes the sustainable use of cultural resources and has become a model for ecomuseology. Key aspects of the Batana Ecomuseum include: Community involvement: the ecomuseum involves local residents in decision-making processes, ensuring that preservation efforts are in line with community values and knowledge. Sustainable tourism: By promoting environmentally friendly tourism, the ecomuseum introduces visitors to traditional maritime practices while minimizing environmental impact. Cultural education: Through workshops, exhibitions and events, the ecomuseum raises awareness of the importance of preserving cultural and natural heritage. In recognition of its effective conservation practices, the Batana Ecomuseum was included in the UNESCO's Register of Good Safeguarding Practices in 2016.

The Fortress of Culture Šibenik

This initiative is an example of an integrated approach to cultural heritage management that combines preservation, community engagement and environmental sustainability (The Fortress of Culture Šibenik, 2025). The Fortress of Culture Šibenik manages several historic fortresses in the city and transforms them into vibrant cultural spaces. This model not only preserves the structural integrity and historical significance of the fortresses, but also revitalizes them as centres for cultural events, education and tourism. In this way, the local economy is boosted and the participation of the population is encouraged. An important aspect of this initiative is its commitment to environmental sustainability. Management implements environmentally friendly practices, such as waste reduction and recycling programs, and promotes environmental awareness through various events and educational programs. This holistic approach ensures that the preservation of cultural heritage goes hand in hand with sustainable development goals. The participatory management model chosen by the Fortress of Culture Šibenik includes stakeholders from the city administration, local non-governmental organizations and the institution itself (The Fortress of Culture Šibenik, 2025).

Icelandic Down

A family-run company on the east coast of Iceland. The company processes products from local eider down. The idea behind the company came up when visiting the local eider down farmers.

The collaboration between the farmers and the company has been successful and both partners see it as a positive cooperation. The local community´s reaction is also positive. New jobs have been created and more economic value will remain in the region, as well as knowledge and skills.

Eider down is the most expensive export product of Icelandic agriculture. Making products out of the down increases the value creation, compared to exporting it as a raw material. Animal welfare and sustainability are highly prioritised. The tradition of process down is believed to have followed Icelanders since the settlement.

Caballos de Vino (Wine Horses) in La Cartuja, Spain

The equestrian ritual consists of a series of events in which the horse is the protagonist. It involves, for example, dressing the horses in beautiful cloaks richly embroidered in silk and gold thread.

Various parades are then held, showcasing the horses and the cloaks through the streets, accompanied by four horse handlers on foot followed by the entire town. Then a race against the clock up the hill to the castle is held, with the horses running with four handlers up to the fortress, where prizes are awarded for the race and for the embroidered cloaks. Knowledge and techniques relating to caring for, breeding, harnessing and handling the horses are transmitted within families and groups, and the embroidery techniques are learned in workshops and embroidery families.

The House-Museum of Wine horses in Jerez de la Frontera presents through various rooms and audiovisuals, the roots and the present of a celebration that is currently a candidate for Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity is transmitted and disseminated.

The Museum of Icelandic Sorcery and Witchcraft / Galdrasýning á Ströndum

The Museum of Icelandic Sorcery and Witchcraft (n.d.b) is owned by a non-profit organization called Strandagaldur. From the beginning, the aim was to conduct, and collaborate on, research about the witch-hunts in Iceland, folklore, and the heritage of Strandir. Much effort has gone into disseminating stories and facts about history and culture. The Museum hosts storytelling sessions on its social media sites, and the staff are often the authority on Icelandic sorcery and witchcraft in the media and on other occasions. Scholars and university students turn to them for assistance in finding sources. A great deal of reading material is available on their website and in the museum.

Strandagaldur has throughout the years welcomed all kinds of collaboration in Iceland and abroad. They have collaborated with writers, filmmakers and musicians, for example. Collaboration with various designers and artists has, among other things, resulted in new products that refer to Icelandic magic and are sold in the museum shop of the Magic Exhibition.

Junior Achievement Sweden

In Sweden there is an organization working with Swedish students to give them tools to start their own companies in the future. This organization is called JA Sweden and their most recognized educational program is called the Company Program (UF-företagande) where students are taught about entrepreneurship. There are many parts in this work of course but one of the important parts is to work with setting short-, medium- and long-term goals and to evaluate your work.

The following information is from JA Sweden’s own website:
“About JA Sweden
Junior Achievement Sweden is a non-profit organization working to promote entrepreneurship among Swedish students and to facilitate relationships between industry and the Swedish school system.

Entrepreneurship can be taught
Junior Achievement Sweden provides educational programs in entrepreneurship for elementary to high school students to ensure the progression of entrepreneurship education within the Swedish school system. The programs are designed to stimulate creativity and entrepreneurship, give students insight into /.../ business conditions and driving forces and to raise awareness of the importance of entrepreneurship. The cornerstone of Junior Achievement Sweden philosophy is that entrepreneurship can be taught. Junior Achievement Sweden is part of the global organization Junior Achievement Worldwide.

(https://www.jaworldwide.org/] my comment).
Three teaching curriculums
Entrepreneurship in elementary and middle school is about creativity, innovation, and activity. The objective is to secure a teaching environment that is characterized as being creative and dynamic and motivates pupils and teachers to learn and teach. Junior Achievement Sweden offers three teaching curriculums, Our Community, Its My Business and Economics for Success, reaching approximately 60 000 students yearly.
450 000 students
Junior Achievement Sweden's most recognized educational program is called the Company Program (UF-företagande). The Company Program provides high school students the opportunity to start and run a business during an academic year. Students experience first-hand an entire life cycle of a business from recognizing an unfulfilled market need, writing a business plan, setting up their company, raising capital to produce/develop the product, marketing and sales of the product and finally liquidating operations and paying out any dividends.
/.../

Through trade shows and competitions, students focus on product innovation, entrepreneurship and commercial competencies. In 2019/20 school year, over 33 700 students have participated in the Company Program and more than 450 000 students have participated in the education program since 1980.

Junior Achievement Sweden launched an alumni network in 2010 to continue to stimulate entrepreneurship among former students and allow young entrepreneurs to share their experiences. Today, the network consists of alumni who meet regularly throughout the year at educational workshops and meetings.

Two studies

Karl Wennberg, PhD, Stockholm School of Economics, Center for Entrepreneurship, has studied and released two studies on Junior Achievement Sweden Company Program graduates. The 2011 study reported that Junior Achievement Sweden Company Program graduates were more like to start a company than people without Company Program experience and that those companies started by Company Program graduates had higher revenue, job creation and company longevity. The 2013 study reinforced that Junior Achievement Sweden Company Program graduates were more likely to start a company. In addition, the study found that Company Program graduates who chose to seek employment had a higher level of labour market establishment than those students without Company Program experience. These studies showed entrepreneurship training has a positive role in the individual’s entrepreneurial career and in workforce readiness and reinforces that Junior Achievement Sweden’s mission is important for the continued entrepreneurial development of Sweden”

Pluggable Social Platform for Heritage Awareness and Participation

Pluggable Social Platform for Heritage Awareness and Participation (PLUGGY) will support citizens in shaping cultural heritage and being shaped by it. PLUGGY will enable them to share their local knowledge and everyday experience with others. The participation will include the contribution of cultural institutions and digital libraries, building extensive networks around a common interest in connecting past, present and future.

The PLUGGY Social Platform will facilitate a continuing process for creating, modifying and safeguarding heritage where citizens will be prosumers and maintainers of cultural activities. It will be web based, easily accessed and will allow the development of shared identity and differentiation. PLUGGY Social Platform’s users will curate stories using the PLUGGY Curatorial Tool. Content will be both crowdsourced and retrieved from digital collections, allowing users to create links between seemingly unrelated facts, events, people and digitized collections, leading to new approaches of presenting cultural resources, and new ways of experiencing them.

PLUGGY will provide the necessary architecture for the creation of pluggable applications, allowing for beyond-the-project, not yet imagined ways to utilize the content on the social platform, while focusing on the design of the social interaction, helping to build new virtual heritage communities. The PLUGGY consortium spans 5 countries and includes 4 academic partners (ICCS, TUK, UMA, ICL), a total of 10 museums (PIOP, ESM) and 3 SMEs (CLIO, VIA, XTS) in the fields of cultural heritage and creative applications. They cover the areas of cultural heritage, social platforms, authoring tools, VR/AR, knowledge management, semantics and 3D audio.

Emotive Virtual cultural Experiences through personalized storytelling

Storytelling applies to nearly everything we do. Everybody uses stories, from educators to marketers and from politicians to journalists to inform, persuade, entertain, motivate or inspire. In the cultural heritage sector, however, narrative tends to be used narrowly, as a method to communicate to the public the findings and research conducted by the domain experts of a cultural site or collection.
The principal objective of the EMOTIVE project is to research, design, develop and evaluate methods and tools that can support the cultural and creative industries in creating Virtual Museums which draw on the power of 'emotive storytelling'.

This means storytelling that can engage visitors, trigger their emotions, connect them to other people around the world, and enhance their understanding, imagination and, ultimately, their experience of cultural sites and content. EMOTIVE will do this by providing the means to authors of cultural products to create high-quality, interactive, personalized digital stories.

StimUlate finanCial eduCation to foster EntrEpreneurship and Development
