Welcome to the Life Beyond Tourism (LBT) Photoblog, a collection of your own photos!!
The aim of the photoblog is to collect pictures from all over the world representing and comparing different interpretations of heritage, intercultural dialogue, cultural diversity, traditional knowledge, and travelling! The photo contribution of the website will be maintained to an high scientific level thanks to the involvement of also institutional and study groups such as the Italian ICOMOS Youth section and various students/graduates of those Universities that are part of the Foundation’s network .
How do you vision heritage and travelling? How will your heritage be compared to other culture’s one? Today you can say it and see it by uploading your pictures, and by voting the other’s ones on www.lifebeyondtourism.org/photoblog. With the photoblog, you can internationally share and compare your pictures – thus contributing to spread awareness among young generations on the importance of cultural understanding and of respect among people. Take part now to this international commitment!
The LBT Photoblog is part of the Life Beyond Tourism System, a network of contacts and activities that includes the Portal, the Blog, the Forum, and the Photoblog! On the portal lifebeyondtourism.org you can find all the activities proposed in the context of Life Beyond Tourism: the Events, the Workshops, the Awards, a group on Facebook, and a profile on Twitter.
The main website also consists of the Heritage and the Tourism directories, where all the supporters and members have visibility, and have the opportunity of connecting with the whole LBT network.
About Life Beyond Tourism
Life Beyond Tourism (LBT) is an orientation conceived by the Romualdo Del Bianco Foundation and based on the principles of the Manifesto. The aim of the project is to worldwide promote intercultural dialogue, through the valorisation of heritage and through cultural tourism and travelling.
Life Beyond Tourism is tourism viewed no longer as a ‘threat’ to our tangible or intangible cultural heritage but as a means of safeguarding that heritage on the basis of intercultural dialogue, going beyond a mere consumer-driven service approach. Thus, the symbol of LBT is a flower (download here) whose petals stand for ‘encounters’, ‘communication’, ‘knowledge’, ‘conservation’, and ‘economy’.
Today, the commitment to foster intercultural dialogue looks at the young generations through the Web 2.0 and through the photoblog.
