The #WAST project aims to empower young women and youth in the tourism sector, by engaging them in training activities for creating unique sustainable and alternative tours, involving them in their cultural heritage and supporting them in learning new skills and competencies.
The main objectives are:
– Support of young women graduates & students from the guiding tour and tourism sector through digital and educational tools to acquire valuable transferable skills and enhance their curricula to enter the working tourism sector.
– Foster European cooperation & new networks of collaboration in the field of youth through non-formal learning by setting up an online space where networking opportunities will take place among young professionals.
– Improve the offer of alternative forms of tour guiding and promotion of tourist destinations through an online environment that brings together young professionals and tourists.
– Promote social participation of marginalized and vulnerable groups.
– Promote the active involvement of artists, interested in the tourism sector (e.g. photographers, graphic designers) for increasing the percentage of tourists in the destinations involved.
Information about the EU support and logo will be visible on all project products and promotional materials used during and after the project implementation.
