Objectıves of the Project:
The main objectives of this project are to inform young people about current challenges such as climate change, to promote the wider EU agenda and focus on sustainability, and to upskill young people and municipal employees who will participate in employment.
The financing and implementation of this project will raise awareness about climate change. The project outputs will produce a range of innovative capacity building activities for both new entrants and current entrants into the workforce, strengthening their skills by providing them with the context and basis to understand how to provide better services.
Funding from this project will enable the development of a training program focusing on how an environmentally and fiscally conscious tourism can respond to the demands of the service industry in general and empower a new generation of trainers, policy makers and workers, especially those belonging to vulnerable social groups who face additional limitations in finding and maintaining employment.
