About the project
The youth exchange is intended for young people who wish to explore the field of sustainable mobility and tourism. The main idea of the youth exchange is to equip individuals with skills and knowledge on how to travel more responsibly and sustainably and how to respectfully interact when in contact with different cultures. Since the big expand of tourism all over the world, followed by the process of globalization, we are seeing a vast number of negative consequences of tourism on local societies, environment, and economy. On the other hand, the Erasmus+ programme is empowering young people to travel, but not addressing the aspects of how to do it. We want to educate young people on what sustainable tourism and mobility are, why it is important and how to do it yourself when traveling. Our main goal is to prepare an easy-to-use Toolkit for young people, that could be used for every travel.
