Project summary

This project will be carried out to response on the increasing demand of entrepreneurship and employing oneself among the young people overall in Europe. The experiences of both items are however quite rare and opportunities to give a sight to these are needed. Many young people especially by the countryside have either no practical experience in speaking English, interacting with foreign people or travelling abroad. The improvement of these basic skills as well as the knowledge of one main field, the travelling business, are the major objectives of the project. Environmental aspects will be specially emphasized as they are essential to take account while speaking tourism business. 10 students from the field of entrepreneurship or travelling with their teachers will be involved from every school. Activities concerning travelling business such as a happening for the local tourists will be organized in every city participating. Local entrepreneurs will be participated to the benefit of both operators. New ideas and mutual feedback will be given during the cooperation. As a result an experience of practical teaching of entrepreneurship will be learned by the schools. Interaction between local school and entrepreneurs will be built up for further cooperation. New ways of executing the curriculum will be tested. All the results may be used in the further operation of the schools and the practical models are easily disseminated at the participating schools as well as their partner ones.

Objectives

One aim was that the students improve their English and social skills. The students were wanted to learn about the advantages and challenges of the tourism of target areas.

Background

All the partner schools locate in an area that is depended on tourism. This appears differently in the schools curriculums. Good practices on entrepreneurship courses and/or co-operation with the local travelling companies were wanted to share.
