The main objective of the course is to present research areas considered strategic at EU level on the theme of cultural and tourist enhancement (in an interdisciplinary sense) of rural areas. The theme is at the heart of the EU project CultuRaliTy (Cultural Heritage in Rural Remote Areas for Creative Tourism and Sustainability), winner of the European call for proposals HORIZON-CL2-2023-HERITAGE-01. The research aims to structure cultural and creative tourism activities for the promotion of territories, taking into account their different capacities, resources and specificities (material, creative, human, etc.). It is also a means of contributing to the sustainable development of peripheral rural areas, promoting job creation and population settlement. To this end, the course aims to compare the lines of action of the European project with the research and interpretation tools possessed by students from different PhD courses with a strongly multidisciplinary and holistic approach. It involves study and analysis of the potential of cultural heritage, considering both material and intangible culture as a resource. The course will feature members of the entire CULTURALITY team as guest speakers and will be structured as a workshop. Each speaker will be responsible for two parts: a lecture and the indication of readings and project topics (2 hours); discussion of the topics with students (2 hours). Each international speaker will be assisted by a member of the Wp6 team PoliTo.
