UNDER Project kicks off the Third International Mobility in the Czech Republic
Znojemské Region, 9–12 March 2026

The third and final international mobility of the UNDER – Underground Navigators Exploring and Revealing project officially begins on 9^th March in Višňové, in the Znojemské Region of the Czech Republic. The event, titled “Sustainable and Rural Tourism in the Znojemské Region”, brings together partners and participants from Malta, Italy, Hungary, and the Czech Republic for four days of learning, cooperation, and cultural exchange.

The project, funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union, focuses on strengthening professional skills in underground heritage management, sustainable tourism, and community development. After previous mobilities in Italy and Hungary, this third meeting represents the concluding chapter of a European journey dedicated to vocational education, inclusion, and heritage preservation.

Hosted by Znojemské Podhorácko, the mobility will explore best practices in rural and sustainable tourism, with particular attention to how small communities can enhance local development through the promotion of cultural and natural heritage. Participants will engage in site visits, workshops, field activities, and peer-learning sessions aimed at exchanging innovative methods and strengthening cross-border cooperation.

The programme includes visits to local heritage sites in the Znojmo area, cultural visits, community engagement, and experiential learning. Through these activities, participants will deepen their understanding of how rural regions can combine tourism development with environmental protection and cultural preservation.

The UNDER project continues to demonstrate the value of European collaboration in fostering professional growth, intercultural dialogue, and the sustainable management of underground and rural heritage sites. The Višňové mobility marks not only the final international meeting of the partnership but also the beginning of new opportunities for cooperation and future joint initiatives across Europe.

Updates, photos, and videos from the event will be shared on the project’s official communication channels in the coming days.

UNDER Project successfully concludes Final International Mobility in Czech Republic

The UNDER – Underground Navigators Exploring and Revealing project has successfully concluded its third and final international mobility, held from 9^th to 12^th March 2026 in Višňové and the Znojemské Region of the Czech Republic.

Hosted by Znojemské Podhorácko, the final event brought together participants and partner organisations from Malta, Italy, Hungary, and the Czech Republic to explore themes related to sustainable tourism, rural development, environmental protection, and cultural heritage preservation.

Funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union, UNDER has focused throughout its duration on strengthening vocational education, promoting underground and rural heritage, and fostering intercultural cooperation among small European organisations operating in the tourism and cultural sectors.

During the mobility, participants took part in seminars, workshops, field visits, and peer-learning activities focused on sustainable and rural tourism practices. The programme included visits to local heritage sites, discussions with local stakeholders, and activities exploring how rural communities can promote tourism while protecting cultural identity and natural resources.

The mobility also represented an important moment of reflection on the overall achievements of the UNDER project. Participants shared experiences and best practices developed during the previous mobilities in Italy and Hungary, highlighting the positive impact of European cooperation on professional development, community engagement, and intercultural understanding.

Over the course of the project, participants strengthened their skills in underground heritage management, tourism promotion, communication, teamwork, and sustainable development. The partnership also succeeded in creating new networks and opportunities for future cooperation among organisations working in the fields of cultural heritage, tourism, and vocational education.

The conclusion of the Czech mobility marks the successful completion of the UNDER project’s international activities while opening the way for future collaborative initiatives and continued dissemination of the project’s results and methodologies across Europe.
