For this application, for each exceptional territory (a city, an island), "unusual" geographies are to be revealed. These geographies alone make up a whole universe in themselves. From the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, a universal common good, to the highest peaks of the island, the breathtaking landscapes leave their mark on the territory. The cities and the land produce meaning and unite all communities and generations.
How can the European Capital of Culture's itineraries be built to fit in with this extraordinary territory?
How can the territories of the project between the coast and the interior be defined, since they are so closely linked in the ancestral ways of living on the island?
How can mobility be integrated into the application: from transport that brings Corsica closer to the mainland to soft modes of discovery with its renowned hiking trails?
How can we push the limits and propose to invest in other local territories (or not), sounding boards, under other skies than Corsica, of the title year?
What if these geographies had to reveal a large part of the very essence of Corsica?
