The
Results

Today, in order to remain competitive in international business circuits, tourism SMEs must focus both on improving and digitising teaching learning models and practices, and on developing environmental awareness and a digital mindset in workers

01. Training programme

A powerful tide forcing SME workers to deep dive into the currents of the green transition and digital transformation. Like skilled surfers, their goal is to ride these waves, re-evaluating their roles and responsibilities with the support of trainers acting as change agents.

02. Educational programme

As a learning environment, where people can access 10 interactive micro training pills, 2 narrative branching scenarios and a metaverse, to acquire and maintain over time, green and digital skills and solutions for the competitiveness of the tourism sector.

03. Green tech-infusion toolkit

To enable trainers to guide tourism workers in conducting as-is/to-be analyses to rethink business models in a circular way and in creating digital solutions to innovate sustainable tourism offerings.

04. 5-day international mobility

Participants explored methods and solutions related to green-tech infusion and transformational team coaching to rethink the tourism sector, aligning with green and digital goals.

05. App Start

Multilingual tourist App, provided by CONFORM S.c.a.r.l., allowing users to discover places, production activities, and exhibition spaces interactively and virtually.
