Details:
Under ecotourism we understand "responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment, sustains the well-being of the local people, and involves interpretation and education". We believe that many local communities can benefit from promoting ecotourism in their areas, especially if they are located close to natural parks and protected areas. As YEE is a youth organisation, we would like to find ways to empower young Europeans to feel more responsible for their homes and communities and to have sufficient competences to promote ecotourism and protect their homeland. The aim of this training course is to strengthen youth participation and active citizenship through ecotourism and related projects.
Objectives:
• To define the role and importance of ecotourism in local communities.
• To create the common understanding about youth participation in local communities through ecotourism.
• To provide space for partners to share the experience of organising ecotourism projects with young people.
• To expand the knowledge and skills needed for organising ecotourism related projects in local communities.
• To create space for networking and building new partnerships among environmental youth organisations.
