The project ROUTES4ROUTES will increase Iron Age Danube Route staff competencies in archaeological heritage
management through learning from already existing and tested good practices in the area of cultural route management.
The participants will become aware of various models and tools that can be used to better connect the route with the
communities archaeological heritage is located in, to make it more visible, and to find new approaches on how to serve as a
connecting platform between heritage experts and SME's and tourism workers in order to help develop new business ideas
or models for creating new cultural products, which would the overall increase the value of Iron Age archaeological heritage
in the Danube region and would result in measurable benefits to the local communities.
During ROUTES4ROUTES project activities, we plan to collaborate with colleges from hosting organizations in exchanging
expertise and good practices regarding archaeological heritage management and cultural routes management. We plan to
organize a practical combination of workshops, round tables and presentations with the host organization.

objective is to learn how to translate and adapt good practices of our host organizations to our circumstances.
Expected results:
Participants will learn how to find, asses and approach key stakeholders in different local communities located in the vicinity
of Iron Age archaeological heritage sites. They will learn how to determine their strengths and weaknesses and the
opportunities for possible green and sustainable development of new cultural products based on the Iron Age heritage in
each region. The participants will learn to communicate with their stakeholders about the possibilities Iron Age heritage in
their area has to offer. They will learn new approaches on how to offer assistance and scientific and other support during the
development and implementation phases and to act as the facilitators and connectors of various compatible stakeholders.
