Route Project
The project
This project aims to highlight the contribution of languages and cultures of the Way of St. James to European great cultural heritage, stressing the importance of regional and/or minoritary languages and cultures. For that purpose, cultural heritage’s spreading will be promoted beyond state borders and dialogue among different languages and cultures of this project’s integral members will be developed.
Accordingly, it wants to reflect the historic relationship between different languages and cultures of the Way of St. James, because the aim is to promote knowledge about European linguistic diversity, its origins and connections among the languages; to emphasize linguistic and cultural diversity inherent to European identity.
