TerraMay

Terramay’s journey began near the Alqueva River, in a beautiful place between the hills of the Alentejo and the Spanish Extremadura. On 15 November 2018, Thomas Sterchi and the Brito family bought this huge 562-hectare plot of land. They had a special plan to teach people about healthy soil, food and the fight against desertification. They wanted to grow food the right way while respecting nature.

This story is told in short texts mixed with vivid images. It tells of the animals, the earth, the activities on the land, the different places on the property and their deep love for nature.

Terramay encourages everyone to get involved and make a difference. They offer guided tours, events, courses and workshops, giving people the opportunity to learn and become part of this wonderful project. Terramay’s story is an invitation to come together, learn and protect our planet.

Why is it regenerative?

Terramay implements the principles of regenerative tourism by emphasising the importance of healthy soils, sustainable food production and the fight against desertification. The project encourages active participation through guided tours, events, courses and workshops, promoting a deeper understanding of nature and sustainability.

Project partners met in Aveiro on the 14th and 15th of September 2023. It was the perfect opportunity to visit the destination with regenerative glasses on, to understand its many assets but also some of the challenges the destination is facing. Face to face project meetings always provide the partners with the unique opportunity to learn about the work of the hosting partner and get valuable insights about the destination. In this case partners were hosted by the dedicated team of management and tourism professionals of the University of Aveiro who shared a wealth of insights about a city that was new to many of the participants.

The Enforce project is well on track when it comes to the project work plan, which means that after having completed the Best Practice collection of innovative examples about storytelling for regeneration and also the Storyteller’s Guide, partners used the meeting to discuss the development of the Enforce Training Programme.

For the next few months partners will be working on developing the content in line with guidelines provided by the University of Usak, our project partner from Turkey.
The course should be available for piloting in January/February 2024 and will also be available in the partner languages once all translations are finalised.

The ENFORCE team met in the beautiful city of Luxembourg for its kick-off meeting. It took place at the premises of the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Luxembourg (also known as CCIL), which opened its doors to warmly welcome all partners.

The team was aware of the importance of this first meeting and approached it with the same enthusiasm, as it plays an important role in building strong bonds that will contribute to the success of the entire cooperation. With the common goal of building a solid foundation, the participants discussed in depth the first steps required for the project ENFORCE.

During this visit, the project objectives were discussed in depth to ensure that each partner has a comprehensive understanding of the overarching goals. The outcome of the kick-off meeting was extremely satisfying for all partners and generated enthusiasm among the team. It was a success and left everyone inspired and energised.

The journey of ENFORCE has officially begun and with the collective expertise of the committed partners, there is no doubt that it will thrive and achieve remarkable results.
