SUBPROJECT: TONE


The sub-project constitutes the logical framework for the start-up of a shared and integrated strategy of territorial co-operation between the project partners areas. In perspective of the 2007-2013 programming period, it is important to carry out a "bridge initiative" aimed at developing a better knowledge of the limits and the opportunities of project partners' areas. Such a knowledge could be the basis of a future strong and positive partnership. Through the project the partners will verify the possibility of adopting a "structured integrated cooperation model", instead of a simple "project cooperation model", in order to identify and develop projects of common interest. The strategy is justified by the peculiar geographical location of the project partners areas and by the relevant community strategic guidelines for the 2007-2013 period.


The core component of the project is articulated in three phases:
(i) territorial analysis of the different areas;
(ii) definition of a strategic document on the future co-operation among the partners;
(iii) identification of three project proposals to be submitted and implemented in the framework of the new European financial programmes.

The main goal of (Tourism Network in Historic Centres. Integrated project linking past and future ESF programming period) TONE is to upgrade the standard forms of interregional co-operation to a strong and lasting partnership among the involved areas. The "district to district" partnership aims to build a Strategic Document (The Feasibility Study) in order to share the co-operation's principles in view of the economic competitiveness and balanced and sustainable development of the territories.
