There are pilgrimage festivals, pilgrim walks, pilgrim poems, films, businesses and even political campaigns using the pilgrimage theme to increase awareness of issues. This study visit in June 2019 explored this variety of modern manifestations of a medieval theme. Stakeholders and managers from all the partners attended.
