EU Projects

Just some of the current projects that the IDP is involved in this year, from being project leaders in European programmes, to helping to promote Erasmus+ EU wide initiatives in the creative arts, gender and social innovation.
Brief round-up below, with links to further project info.

TOAST TOAST (Tourism & Sustainability) project aims to offer an insight into European regional approaches (Italy, Holland and Ireland) to sustainable tourism and sharing of best practice from those involved in agri-tourism and small scale sustainable food production. Funded through ERASMUS + the programme offers training to these micro product and tourism businesses from the Alto Monferrato area in Piedmont, northern Italy. The aim is to maximize their potential, promote sustainable tourism and build a local network to work collectively to promote their region and businesses.
