The project contributes to the transnational mobility of cultural operators and cultural products created by the project, such as publications on different cultural heritage themes and languages which will be circulated widely across Europe. It promotes intercultural dialogue by creating a platform across Europe, including south and north, new and old member states.

Artistic and crafts’ creativity is encouraged, tourism is promoted and environmental sustainability related to sheep farming is enhanced. Cultural activities are revived reinforcing the social identity of upland areas. Thus, the common cultural identity of sheep farming territories may be strengthened, aided by a network of sheep farming and pastoral life museums and interpretation centres, as well as publications, exhibitions and conferences, among other things, aiming to raise awareness of the value of such heritage among the public and the ethnographic profession.
