Wool as Outstanding Opportunity for Leverage

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG VB Adriatic - Ionian

Date of latest update: 2024-11-23

Description

Description (EN):

ADRION Regions are rich with wool-based tourism potential and wool is deeply rooted in their cultural heritage. Challenges are that wool is currently rarely processed and instead it is thrown away and destroyed. Numerous unemployed artists, craftsman and sheep breeders are not aware of the economic potential of wool-related products which could give the ADRION region its authentic identity. Overall objective of WOOL project is to conserve wool as an important natural resource and to protect cultural heritage of traditional hand-made wool products by enhancing the regional cooperation and knowledge transfer and by promoting the common ADRION regional brand. Main outputs of the project are: (1) Identification of wool production resources and capabilities. (2) Creation of a regional strategy for utilization of wool-based resources. (3) Development of wool-based tourism products. (4) Establishment of Adrion WOOL network. (5) Promotion of regional WOOL brand. By ensuring careful examination of the state related to wool resources on the one hand and craftsmanship on the other hand, basis for further valorization of the offer will be made. New sustainable wool/shepherd-based tourism offer will be developed, valorizing endangered cultural heritage in the ADRION area. Pilot actions, implemented within WOOL, will ensure testing of the concept and direct results for involved stakeholders from four different sides (researchers-practitioners-clients-policy makers) all of which will contribute to the valorization of heritage and will positively affect the economic growth of the region. Inter-regional approach is of vital relevance in the area of (i) collecting the wool, (ii) wool processing analysis (mapping of the value chain members), (iii) creating a novel and contemporary design of traditional hand-made wool products in collaboration with craftsman and artists and (iv) tourism product development and regional branding.

Expected Results (EN): Level of capacity for the stakeholders in the fields of natural and cultural heritage protection and tourism to sustainably valorise natural and cultural heritage as a growth asset

Expected Outputs (EN):

Wool & shepherd-related heritage, though very rich & widely present in continental & mountainous rural areas, is diminishing. This is a transnational problem in the ADRION area which will be resolved by cooperation and consensus building on the content of sustainable valorization and tourism under the common brand. The “body of knowledge” will be expanded & new audience will be engaged in the process of sustainable valorization of wool heritage. The project will increase the level of capacities, capabilities and competences of Adrion wool-related stakeholders. On one hand, SMEs, business support organizations & NGOs will benefit from involvement in the regional network, as well as from participating in the creation of the regional policy which will address the potential of wool-based national & cultural heritage resource. Ensuring their active participation will also ensure the learning process & finally result in the increase of the level of their capacities & capabilities. On the other hand, educational and research, public sector institutions and policy-makers will also benefit from the project as they will get the necessary insights into which actions to take to move forward. These suggestions will be made for each country, but also for the 1st time on the regional level. By ensuring careful examination of the state related to wool resources on the one hand & craftsmanship on the other hand, bases for further valorization of the offer will be made. This will directly affect broadening of the overall tourism offer of the region, taking into account national & regional wool-based heritage. WOOL Pilot actions will ensure testing of the concepts & direct results for involved stakeholders from four different sides (researchers-practitioners-clients-policy makers) that will serve as the best practice examples for further development of the sustainable tourism based cultural heritage & have the positive effect on job creation and on the economic growth of the region.
