Grado will bring together experts to bring the Caminos de Santiago closer to the new generations
Asturias continues to support generational change in the Jacobean world. The town of Degree will host a day dedicated to analyzing how to bring the Caminos de Santiago to young people and encourage their participation in one of the most important cultural and heritage traditions in Europe.
The initiative will bring together institutional representatives, Jacobean associations, youth experts and participants linked to the Camino to reflect on the future of pilgrim routes and the role that new generations can play in their conservation and promotion.
The challenge of connecting with young people
The organizers consider it essential to awaken the interest of young people in the Camino de Santiago not only as a tourist experience, but also as a tool for personal growth, cultural exchange, volunteering and social participation.
In recent years, the Camino has experienced significant international growth, but it also faces the challenge of keeping alive the involvement of younger generations in hospitality, Jacobean associations and the conservation of its historical heritage.
Asturias and the Primitive Way
The choice of Degree is not accidental. The municipality is one of the most emblematic points of the Primitive Path, considered the oldest Jacobean route of all.
Thousands of pilgrims pass through this Asturian town every year on their way to Santiago de Compostela, making it a strategic place to promote projects related to youth and the Jacobean phenomenon.
Looking to the future
The day aims to generate new ideas so that young people can become actively involved in the Camino through cultural activities, volunteering, international meetings and educational projects.
The ultimate goal is to ensure that future generations continue to keep the spirit of the Camino de Santiago alive and contribute to preserving one of Europe's great cultural heritages.
