<< Background >>The reason why the partnership decided to apply for this project was to promote the tourism sector which was extensively affected by the COVID situatio and the need to develop and continue working toward a more sustainable world. Linked with these two needs, the partnership decided to combine them and establish the goal to promote sustainable businesses related to the tourism sector. Therefore, the aim of the partners is to start developing actions that move us towards a more sustainable world, including sustainable contents in education, but also in the labor world, such as businesses and entrepreneurships. Moreover, according to the European Commission, sustainable tourism is facing multiple major challenges and some could be solved if the companies started taking actions towards sustainability.In addition, the partners also want to create a stronger link between education and the community, collaborating with other companies in order to create something that is worth working on, motivating the students, giving them real and useful experiences in order to improve their curriculum and their entrance in the labor world. This situation facing the discouragement of students in front of their education or the lack of communication among the real needs of the companies with the education centres is an important need that will be addressed thanks to the service-learning activity, in which students will be part of real experiences that will put the in touch with the labor world, the needs of the community and that will have a real impact in their close environment.Consequently, this will promote the wellbeing of the local community and preserve natural and cultural resources, while the students acquire Key Competences such as Active citizenship and multilingualism, but also teamwork skills and knowledge about sustainable practices.Furthermore, the need of the localities to focus on more sustainable businesses and promoting sustainable practices among the different companies will also be addressed through the different activities and project results, targeting the general public with the Communication Campaign, the service-learning and the App.<< Objectives >>The objectives of the project are the following: GENERAL OBJECTIVEPromote sustainable businesses and entrepreneurship.SPECIFIC OBJECTIVESSupport the professional development of teachers, trainers, educators about sustainability with the service-learning methodology.Create free access to the general public about verified sustainable options.Involve the VET centres in the community participating actively in their improvement.By implementing this project all these objectives will be addressed.
