CulturalCorners is a Creative Europe Programme (CREA) project dedicated to fostering cultural exchange, storytelling, and heritage preservation across Europe. Through a blend of digital and physical experiences, the project aims to highlight the richness of cultural diversity while promoting sustainable tourism and community engagement.
By leveraging innovative storytelling techniques and cross-sector collaboration, CulturalCorners connects local communities, creative professionals, and cultural institutions to explore and celebrate cultural identities in an inclusive and engaging way.

At the same time, Envolve brings its expertise in innovation, entrepreneurship, and design thinking to support the development of sustainable and digital cultural tourism models. The organization also leads the development of the digital collaboration platform as well as the project’s communication and dissemination strategy. In addition, Envolve contributes to the design and delivery of training programmes for artists and professionals working in the cultural tourism sector.
