Ongoing projects
Interreg South Baltic Programme 2021 - 2027
The aim of the project is to ensure the conditions for sustainable development and resilience of the tourism sector in the Southern Baltic Area through the development of innovative thematic cross-border nature-based wellness routes specifically tailored for health recovery and enhancement. By promoting cross-border cooperation, these thematic routes will create new business opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises, increase the visibility of tourism in the region and promote sustainable development by reducing seasonality.
Expected project results:
Guidelines and a framework for the development of the sustainable N-B-Well tourism model, aimed at promoting health recovery and enhancement in the SBA region. This outcome will include the development of a certification scheme for N-B-Well network organisations.
- A system of cross-border touristic routes designed to enhance health and wellbeing in the SBA. It will adopt a holistic approach, each route covering different thematic focus: 1. physical health; 2. mental health; 3. emotional health and well-being recovery.
- Interactive digital platform for navigating cross-border health recovery tourism offerings via N-B-Well thematic routes. This tool will allow businesses to cooperate in the development of cross-border tourism offers, enabling tourists to choose their itineraries according to their physical and mental health conditions, illnesses, fitness levels and travel preferences.
- Establishment of an N-B-Well tourism network to ensure the longevity of the project's results, using the experience and expertise of the project and associated partners.
The achievement of the aforementioned results will contribute significantly to the sustainable development of the Southern Baltic Region. Increased tourism activity will enhance the region's attractiveness to both domestic and international tourists, improving their overall experience and boosting the region's competitive edge. Cross-border cooperation will facilitate the development of diverse, year-round, natural resource-based wellness tourism services. This will reduce dependency on specific seasons, create new business opportunities, promote entrepreneurship, and generate jobs within the community. A unified approach to marketing and certification will improve the visibility and quality of services in the South Baltic region, leading to increased tourist inflows. Additionally, the development of innovative N-B-Well routes will foster positive changes in public health and well-being.

Interreg Baltic Sea Region Programme 2021-2027
Project „Light in the Dark - Increasing resilience in rural and coastal tourism in the northern Baltic Sea Region by developing off-season experiences“
Light in the Dark helps small and medium-sized tourism enterprises to develop off-season natural offerings that attract tourists to rural and coastal areas in the northern Baltic Sea Region throughout the year.
The off season period; fall, winter and spring in the northern Baltic Sea Region is dark and cold, and often without snow because of proximity to and humidity from the sea. This causes challenges for tourism and the problem is especially profound in rural and coastal areas in the northern Baltic Sea Region. The modern travelers are called nature explorers, natural wonder hunters, nature tribe tourists. They are looking to avoid crowds by travelling off season. They expect customized experiences, efficient service, they value nature and are willing to extend their stay. The project (1) responds to this need, and (2) supports the ability to respond to the Baltic Sea Region's common need to prolong the tourism season by developing a transnational northern Baltic archipelago concept for nature-based tourism. We create a fall-winter-spring package consisting of three product experience packages under the concept Light in the Dark for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises and Destination Management Organisations in tourism to attract travelers during off season. Transnational collaboration between universities, SMEs and Business Support Organizations promote coherent and synergistic implementation of the solution and add value by connecting all relevant stakeholders and businesses from different countries. The concept helps tourism sector to better respond to and adapt their businesses to off seasons, building resilience among businesses operating in the archipelago and coastal areas.
Project implementation period: 2023 - 2026.

Project „Merging Orgiginal Traditions Into new Voices of Europe“)
The MOTIVE project is founded on the integrated approach adopted by the European Commission for the music sector, known as Music Moves Europe
(MME). The project integrates various priority action areas within MME, involving entities from countries such as Lithuania, Italy, and Poland, which have fewer opportunities for international engagement in the music sector. MOTIVE combines traditional music, music networks, capacity building, and mobility, shaping them according to the cultural and physical geography of the project. Simultaneously, the project aligns with the European Green Deal and The New European Bauhaus initiative, aiming to create a path towards a sustainable and inclusive future. MOTIVE seeks to share beautiful places, practices, and experiences that are enriching, sustainable, and inclusive.
The primary mission is to valorize national heritages and foster intercultural dialogue through the exchange of knowledge and music traditions. This is achieved through research, co-creation, and co-production of original music that reflects diverse cultural heritages.MOTIVE focuses on enhancing the careers of young musicians by providing training in key competencies needed in the future European Music Sector. The project includes capacity-building activities, workshops, and a blend of theoretical and practical learning.
Project implementation period: 2023 - 2026.
