Past projects

UNESCO4ALL

The EU UNESCO4ALL TOUR project has been part of COSME, Europe’s program for small and medium-sized enterprises. Applicant and project leader was X23 Srl (Italy). The project is finished in 2022.
The resulting tourism packages are focused on UNESCO built heritage and in particular on churches, monasteries and cathedrals, thus according to a “spiritual” narrative logic (“The Soul of Europe”) and addressed to – but not limited to – people with visual impairments.

Tooteko, the technological partner, provides an innovative system that allows to navigate any 3D model with your finger tips and get in return an audio content. Translated in the language of heritage and visits, it means that any monument can be touched and heared, via a 3D model and dedicated smart devices. UNESCO sites involved in the project are : the Alhambra Palace (Spain), the Rila Monastery (Bulgaria), the Cathedral St James (Croatia), the Basilica of Aquileia (Italy).
