A European Learning Network

Learning across universities and places

The Agents of Change project connects universities
from different European regions to explore Slow
Tourism through education, exchange and practical
experiences.

Each partner university contributes its own academic,
regional and local perspective. Together, these
different viewpoints create a learning environment
that extends beyond a single institution or classroom.

Through courses, project activities and international
exchange, students can discover how Slow Tourism is
understood and experienced in different European
contexts.
