The concrete objectives of the partnership 

 

CONCRETE OBJECTIVES
- 5 case studies and a related business plan
- 5 meetings open to the general public and local business representatives and enterprises
- 3 meetings with tourism-related secondary schools
- A website which includes a section on business ideas for the sector
- A web-based collection of International best practices within the sector, divided into themes: Flying craft using new clean energies (like kites), different types of helium balloons and similars, renting planes, micro lights and similar crafts
- A public call to recruiting associations, cultural circuits, sport centres and keen citizens in giving free sample lessons and presentations on flight activities using various flying craft
- International webinar on business opportunities within the sector
- a Facebook competition on the best business idea, launched and voted upon via Facebook
- a DVD with video reports of all the project meetings and tourism activities/sites related to the project field visited
- a booklet on business opportunites in the flight sector using clean energies
- a DVD to diffuse project results

PROBLEMS ADDRESSED:
- Lack of innovation in the tourist sector
- Lack of knowledge about the latest developments in the sector
- Lack of in service training and life long learning in tourist sector
- The necessity to foster business start ups, especially at this time of economic crisis
- The necessity to teach students to seek job solutions which are attentive to all European contexts (broadening horizons)
- The necessity to give fresh input to existing entrepreneurs
- The necessity to continue proposing self-employment and business creation as a valid alternative to salaried employment

There is a further need, to pool at a single web location:
- information on alternative tourisms using flight instruments, craft and planes
- information for future business people within the sector

APPROACH:
- The project components will work as a single unit: each partner will perform actions and carry out specific tasks with a view to accomplishing all the necessary aspects
- Transnational learning by exchanging good practices and case studies from partner countries
- Use of an e-learning platform to facilitate the communication and to file the exchange of testimonies, success stories and other results in multiple languages.
