Beyond Borders Hackathon - reusing open access cultural collections for sustainable tourismAs part of a cooperation agreement, EUreka3D initiative is collaborating with SECreTour project to explore how digital cultural heritage can support local promotion and tourism, particularly by reusing open cultural collections to create engaging materials and storytelling about places and communities. Project SECreTour is organizing, together with Photoconsortium, Europeana, UNESCO Chair of the Università della Svizzera Italiana in ICT to develop and promote sustainable tourism in world heritage sites and UNESCO Chair of the Università di Genova in Anthropology of Health, Biosphere and Healing Systems, a Hackathon in Lugano, addressing young creatives and students to deliver a creative proposal using the vast collections available on the Europeana website, inspired by SECreTour's mission to promote sustainable, engaging and creative tourism as a driver for a better future in rural and remote areas. EUreka3D-XR resources and tools will be presented to participants, along with the capacity building resources and activities organized by the project that could be of interest for current and prospect cultural heritage professionals.
