At the moment, youth faces a persistent global underemployment challenge, where they are much more likely to be jobless than adults, as a direct result of COVID-19. The negative impact on young workers and small business owners around the world is said to be significant. According to a statement from the Danish Minister for Employment Peter Hummelgaard, young individuals and citizens with shorter educations are highly exposed to losing their jobs due to COVID-19. One of the main social concerns among the youth in Europe has for years been the global unemployment situation. According to the European Commission, more than 3.3 million young people (aged 15-24) were unemployed in 2019 and more than 5.5million in the same age group were neither employed nor in education or training (NEETS) in the EU in 2018. Currently, these numbers are increasing as a result of COVID-19. Youth unemployment in particular has been a top EU priority for many years. It not only puts a lot of pressure on the welfare systems in Europe, studies have also proven that it is personally detrimental in many areas, both physiologically and psychologically, resulting in bad health and diet, social isolation, low self-esteem and in the worst cases, long-term psychiatric problems. Some of these effects can be hard to counter once they have taken root, so it is important to tackle the issue at the earliest possible stages. Youth unemployment has a profound impact on individuals, society and the economy. The criticality and vulnerability of the youth situation in the labour market is both a great untapped resource that Europe cannot afford to squander, it is a social crisis that needs to be remedied. Unless current trends are reversed quickly, the levels of today risk youth unemployment which can harm job prospects for young people. After brainstorming and discussing with our group, we decided that the best way for us to address the issue of unemployment is through entrepreneurship. We have come up with an idea of a project that focuses on a specific kind of entrepreneurship, tourism business. Tourism is facing a great crisis due to the worldwide panic of CID-19, and it presents the opportunity of thinking critically and innovatively. Moreover, it creates an incentive to utilize digital means in greater and more creative ways. Thus, the goal of the project was to highlight the entrepreneurship opportunities for youth in the field of tourism and foster intercultural learning through tourism experiences. Participants were challenged in a new way of thinking and utilize competencies within the project field. With our project, we wanted to stimulate positive thinking towards risk-taking and implementation of own business initiatives. Our objectives were: • To develop a sense of initiative & entrepreneurship, enhance participants’ entrepreneurial literacy; • To explore new ways of tourism considering the Corona virus; • To provide knowledge, skills and competencies in rural tourism, its types, definitions and impact on rural community; • To provide state of the art digital competencies and tools for rural tourism promotion; • To increase cultural awareness and sense of tolerance, foster mutual understanding, intercultural dialogue, social inclusion and solidarity between young people in different countries; • To explore the possibilities of the Erasmus+ program as a tool for youth employment, mobility and entrepreneurship; • To identify the competencies that can be obtained through EU different non-formal education programs and their certification by Youthpass.
