GreenSkills4Tourism

Introduction 

The Green for Tourism (G4T) Curriculum is a 200-hour, flexible and modular program designed for the unemployed and those without a high school diploma who have a background in the tourism industry. Each (micro)-module in the G4T curriculum can be delivered as a stand-alone mini-course, or it can be included into an existing program of study or set of credentials. Following the advice of the EU Skills Agenda, the collaboration will create a unique micro-credential for each program to increase this fluidity. 

The course will be broken up into sections:

- Design techniques for sustainable itineraries

- Design of experiential tourism packages

- Design of ecotourism packages

- Sustainable mobility

- Cycling tourism

- Sustainable hospitality

- Sustainability certifications

- Circular economy and application to tourism

- Enogastronomy and sustainable tourism

- Organisation of sustainable events (choosing a suitable location, waste management and recycling,.)

- How to look and find a job in sustainable tourism

- Self employment and (social) entrepreneurship

- Project work/simulation (design an ecotourism itinerary)

●        People who have recently graduated, have a tourist qualification, and have never worked.

●        NEET with a tourism qualification
