This Erasmus+ Sport project aims to promote healthy and active lifestyles through the participation of the local community in hiking and other sporting activities along historical routes such as the Via Francigena, the Via Egnatia and the Via Eurasia-Tolerance Way.

The budget of the project amounts to 200,000 euros and has a duration of 18 months. The project activities will be carried out in three countries – Italy, Greece and Turkey, and will be implemented by the cooperation of three organizations – the Culture Routes Society Turkiye (Project Leader), the European Association of the Via Francigena Ways (AEVF) and the Social Cooperative enterprise “Paths of Greece”.
