At excoursio, we’re building a nonprofit, non-governmental VoD platform for immersive guided tours— “culture for everyone, everywhere” — that lets people experience exhibitions and sites from anywhere.
Our goal is to operate our platform as close to carbon-neutral and as ecological as possible by keeping our operations mostly local and radically efficient. Because our films make guided tours accessible without physical travel, sustainability is in our DNA and directly supports the UN Sustainable Development Goals as we grow.
Based locally in Brandenburg, offering free-for-all edutainment and focusing on inclusive, emotionally engaging cultural storytelling, we’re reshaping how cultural knowledge is produced, shared, and preserved online — in a conscious and sustainable way.
