S.T.R.A.T.E.G.Y. – Sustainable Tourism in Rural Areas Through European Green for Young | Training Course

What?

Zarika Association is excited to share with you this wonderful training course on the topic of sustainable tourism in rural areas, which is hosted by our partner organization Cilento Youth Union.

The S.T.R.A.T.E.G.Y (Sustainable Tourism in Rural Areas through European Green for Young) project aims to address these challenges by promoting sustainable tourism as an integrated strategy. This approach not only preserves the environment but also contributes to local economic development, offering new job opportunities and improving the quality of life in rural areas. The active involvement of young people is essential for the long-term sustainability of any initiative.

Through the project, youth workers will have the opportunity to acquire practical skills and innovative strategies to motivate local youth to become key actors in promoting and exploiting sustainable tourism opportunities.

S.T.R.A.T.E.G.Y. is a project that not only recognizes the unique challenges of the rural communities involved but also proposes concrete solutions and synergies that align with the key objectives of Erasmus+, the Green Deal, and the European Rural Pact. Through collaboration, training, and innovation, the project aims to lay the foundation for a sustainable and prosperous future for rural areas.
