About The Project

The project ‘Eco-Tourism for Social Entrepreneurship Health and Well-Being Among Youth’ aims to empower young people in rural and urban communities to engage with their green areas and take innovative action towards fighting climate change through the promotion of ecotourism. By providing accessible opportunities and skills, the project seeks to foster eco-friendly mindsets and promote social entrepreneurship while addressing social and environmental challenges.

Project Activities

The project will include a range of local and transnational activities as well as the development of resources that will aid youth to become active citizens in their communities and agents for change.

These will include:

  • The development of a booklet on eco-tourism and a toolkit featuring non-formal methods for the creation of youth-led NGOs
  • The creation of a website and mobile app
  • 2 LTTAs
  • Online webinars
  • Small-scale multiplier events

Impact

The project will enable youth to become agents of change and take an active role in promoting sustainable tourism and supporting rural communities while addressing social and environmental challenges. They will learn the benefits of ecotourism and the importance of revitalising rural areas for cultural heritage, environmental sustainability, health, well-being and social entrepreneurship. The resources will be utilised by youth, youth workers and stakeholders at a local, national and EU level.
