Slow Tourism Alto Adige

The Slow Tourism Alto Adige Association is a non-profit, nongovernmental organization founded in
2014 in the city of Bolzano North Italy as a subsidiary of an Italian Association Slow Tourism
(http://www.slowtourism-italia.org.Its main objective is to rediscover a different way of traveling through the promotion of eco-tourist itineraries with slow mobility that invites travelers to choose authenticity and routes marked by the beauty, culture, and traditions of locals. Its President and members write, organize and coordinate European projects to increase attention to the beauty of the territories through cultural itineraries, enjoying agricultural products, and a new slow Italian style of life. The members of the association promote the sustainability of the territories and useful information on the accessibility of
accommodation for disabled people. We believe in more cohesive and inclusive societies to allow citizens to play an active role in democratic life. We think that non-formal education can promote common European values, foster social integration, enhance intercultural understanding and a sense of belonging to a community. We promote the development of social capital among young people, the empowerment of young people and their ability to participate actively in society. We organize stages for youth organizations
and provide them with training to develop their professionalism and the European dimension.
