INNOVATUR - - Innovating Academic Curricula and Engagement Approach to Sustainable and Smart Tourism Development (SSmTD)
Prague University of Economics and Business ·Czechia
About this project
<p>In this project, University of Economics and Business and the University of South-Eastern Norway aim to innovate education in sustainable and smart tourism. The project team plans to prepare a package of teaching materials (sourcebook, textbook, etc.) and include new thematic areas in the current education curricula. We will emphasise the importance of ethics and responsibility in tourism education which should support awareness of social, cultural and environmental challenges. These topics are considered relevant not only from the perspective of teachers, but also from the perspective of external stakeholders. Thanks to the project, students will gain up-to-date education that will enhance their employability and develop their skills as pro-active citizens. Moreover, the project will strengthen collaboration between the higher education institutions and the external stakeholders involved in the tourism sector.</p>
