Travel. Learn. Connect. Create.

Travel in Art was born in Syros, in the heart of the Cyclades, to turn travel into a living experience of learning, creativity and encounter.

Who we are

A non-profit social cooperative and an international host organisation, connecting people, languages, cultures and places through education, Erasmus+ mobility, training and international cooperation.

Syros, our first laboratory

An open-air learning laboratory

Our idea of travel begins with meeting a place and the people who live there. That is why we use the island as an open-air learning laboratory, where languages and intercultural mediation, art and creativity, cultural heritage, Mediterranean biodiversity, gastronomy, sustainability and the life of local communities become part of a single educational experience. From Syros, Travel in Art now builds relationships with educational institutions, universities, European organisations, professionals and local communities.

Our philosophy

We want to create the conditions for people to live a place, understand it, learn from it and give something back.

Because for us, travel goes beyond the place we are heading to. It is what happens when people, languages, cultures and places meet.

A cultural destination

A place of artistic and cultural experiences for travellers and artists from around the world.

HUB 4ALL

Experiences designed for people, open to a plurality of ages, cultures, languages, abilities and ways of living and learning.

Sustainable development

A concrete, respectful contribution to the sustainable development of Syros, all year round.

From Syros to Europe

From experience to learning

Every programme is born from a place, but grows through the people who pass through it. Erasmus+ Learning Mobility, Adult Education, international traineeships, job shadowing, staff training, language and intercultural mediation, arts and creativity, cultural heritage, Mediterranean biodiversity, gastronomy and community engagement: these are some of the ways we turn travel into learning.

Culture and travel

Artistic experiences and slow itineraries that reveal the soul of each place.
