This activity is led by Bibracte
The work done by each of the 10 Pilot cases in the INCULTUM project shows (sometimes big) differences and specifities, nevertheless all the Pilots are aiming at developing new sustainable and collaborative strategies for local promotion of various areas, which also generate an effort in training and supporting actions to local stakeholders and a variety of innovations in rural and marginal territories in Europe.
The coordination for fostering synergies and common strategies in innovation is important to facilitate Pilots’ progress and to identify solutions to common challenges. In this sense, transversality with the INCULTUM innovation manager is being promoted among partners.
A series of innovation factsheets is currently being developed to disseminate the work done by each Pilot for other stakeholders to take inspiration from.

Pilot 2 Agrarian coastal plain: Campina de Faro
In this factsheet we propose to explore the main innovations developed within the cultural routes associated to the water landscape and heritage:
(i) Use the knowledge of older inhabitants about the landscape and material and immaterial heritage, as a support for the cultural routes as a vector of territorial and social cohesion.
(ii) Create a territory intelligent connecting agroecology and agrotourism through a shared diagnosis and proposals, and ultimately through the constitution of an active and participatory heritage community.
(iii) Ensuring the coherence, robustness, and resilience of the territorial project through an inclusive approach using entrepreneurship and territorial marketing as a tool .

Pilot 4 Sicilian inland: Monti di Trapani
In this factsheet we propose to explore the main innovations developed in the framework of “Monti di Trapani”:
- The constitution of a heritage resource as a common (good)
- The involvement of the community in the management of the local heritage resources and the participatory heritage inventory and the participatory design of itineraries (political arena, open talks and bottom up approach)
- Creating new visitor itineraries that make it possible to discover the resources of the territory along a route (most of the time using soft means of transport). These routes also involve local participation in their design and, of course, in their development, thus encouraging local domestic tourism and knowledge of the local heritage; while soft mobility can be considered as an element of innovation to achieve sustainable tourism.

In this factsheet we aim to discuss and anticipate the innovations this pilot case has developed up to this point, including the ones which the team plans to set into motion in the following months:
- The pilot aims at creating new visitor itineraries that make it possible for visitors to discover all of the resources of the territory.
- Design attractive narratives of the mentioned itineraries, so as to engage visitors in the local history. These narratives aim to give value to the history of the area and to the local ethnographic museum;
- Mobilising artists to strengthen the attachment of communities to their heritage and to share it with others.
- Promotional and visit tools to be implemented as a means to improve the knowledge of visitors regarding the existence of the village and its tourist offer.

Pilot 10 Escape in the archipelago landscape
In the Pilot the focus is on innovative ways to understand visitors and their spatio-temporal behaviour as this can reveal both challenges and opportunities for the specific locations. With a more evenly distributed tourism between urban and rural areas, the coastal rural areas will be able to maintain and grow employment and attain a positive net population growth. A challenge in this is to balance the attracting of visitors to these areas while avoiding the negative impacts on the community and the cultural heritage. The Pilot contributes to INCULTUM through the following innovations:
- Understanding behaviours in a spatio-temporal context
- Participatory design
- Involvement of community
- Promotional and visit tools
