If you’re half artist, half scientist — that’s classic marketer magic.

You might be a content creator, brand strategist, PR specialist, data analyst, entrepreneur, or someone helping a small, independent tourism or hospitality project tell its story. We especially welcome professionals working with small tourism businesses, where marketing can help create authentic, community-led experiences that make rural places thrive.

If you’re after fast funnels or cookie-cutter tactics, this won’t be your thing. But if you’re ready for meaningful, lasting impact, you’re in the right place.

Here’s what you’ll get:

• An immersive experience

Learn at Tertulia Coliving — a real example of regenerative tourism. Then, keep the momentum going with 6 online sessions to put your skills into action.

• Hands-on, real-world learning

Take part in workshops, field visits, and co-create a real marketing campaign with your peers and the local community.

• A network that lasts

Meet marketers, tourism professionals, and community leaders from across Europe. Share ideas, co-create solutions, and as a bonus, get access to the Conscious Marketing Movement online community to keep the conversation going after the program ends.

How do I get to Tertulia?

We encourage you to consider practising slow travel when making your way here, opting for transportation methods that are better for the environment.

• The closest train station is Vicchio, Tuscany (approx. 1 hour direct train from Florence).

• Closest airports: Florence, Pisa, and Bologna.

From Vicchio station, we will arrange group shuttles to Tertulia Coliving. A few days before the training, we’ll coordinate arrivals and departures together.

How is food organised? Will my dietary requirements be respected?

All meals at Tertulia Coliving are included. Our local Italian chef prepares seasonal, vegetarian cuisine, and most dietary requirements can be accommodated. Please let us know in advance about your preferences or restrictions. Meals outside of Tertulia Coliving are at your own expense.

What room options do you have?

Accommodation is in shared rooms, and we will do our best to pair participants by gender.

👉 For more details about the space, please visit the Tertulia Coliving website.

We understand that plans can change. Unfortunately, if you cancel less than 14 days before the in-person training, it will take us extra time and resources to find and prepare a replacement, and some costs (like accommodation and meals) are already committed.

Here’s our cancellation policy:

• Scholarship participants — €250 fee to help cover these costs

• Paid participants — No refunds within this timeframe

It takes a village to run a program like this, and we love working with people and organisations who share our vision for tourism that gives back. We are currently looking for sponsors for our project.

• Who you are: An impact-driven brand, foundation, or organisation that believes tourism can be a force for good

• What you’ll do: Your sponsorship funds the contributors — experts and organisations who lead our online sessions with knowledge of regenerative tourism, guidance on EU sustainability regulations, real-world examples of rural tourism projects, and practical tools participants can use right away. Your support doesn’t just cover their fees, it ensures participants gain access to world-class insights and hands-on tools that can transform rural tourism in Europe.

• What you get: Prominent recognition as a key supporter across all project communication channels — including social media, newsletters, events, the open-source toolkit, and more — plus the opportunity to help create tourism that leaves places better than we found them. 

💡 Sponsorships start at €500.
