The European project TupART – Territories United by Early Art, co-financed by the Interreg Sudoe program, will hold its Second Workshop on December 11 and 12, 2025, at the Elvino Pereira Auditorium in Mação, Portugal. Entitled “Designing the 2026-2028 Action Plan,” the meeting will bring together institutional partners from Spain, France, and Portugal to define future cooperation strategies related to rock art and rural development. This event coincides with the General Assembly of the International Association of Prehistoric Rock Art Trails, a collaborating entity of the TupART project.
This association is responsible for managing the Cultural Route of the Council of Europe, the largest European network of cultural and tourist destinations dedicated to promoting European rock art to the general public. The network currently includes ten countries and more than 165 destinations, having established a strong alliance between the institutions responsible for the technical and administrative management of rock art sites. This collaboration has been particularly strengthened since its designation as a European Cultural Route in 2010.
