Young people from 4 Balkan countries will share knowledge and will be trained in Transnational entrepreneurship in the field of tourism
The first three events are aimed at exchanging good practices and will take place in Kichevo (Republic of North Macedonia) on 14th October, in Vlora (Albania) on 20th October and in Thessaloniki (Greece) on 26th October. The transnational educational camps (EduCamps) will be in Vlora – 16th – 19th October and in Thessaloniki - 22nd – 25th October. The EduCamps will be attended by young people from Albania, Bulgaria, Greece and Republic of North Macedonia.
The events are part of the initiatives under the transnational project TRANS-EDU-NET, whose Lead partner is National Tourism Cluster “Bulgarian Guide”, funded under the TCP INTERREG V-B Balkan-Mediterranean 2014-2020 Programme.
TRANS-EDU-NET started in 2017 and is being implemented in partnership with the Association for Local Economic Development of the Vlora region, Albania; Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, LHTEE, Greece and the Municipality of Kichevo, North Macedonia. Partners spotted the opportunity to overcome transnational challenges such as unemployment, migration of young and skilled people, brain-drain, early school leaving, lack of vocational education that attracts young people’s interest, fewer opportunities to combine work and study, and the inability of the labour markets to create new and sustainable jobs. Therefore, the project objective is to encourage cooperation and networking between business entities, government representatives and educational institutions resulting in development of an innovative training environment, enhanced skills and encouraged entrepreneurial thinking in the field of tourism.
