iContribute
to Sustainable Tourism and Search for Ways to Travel Better
On our second Erasmus+ project -
iContribute (to Sustainable Tourism and Search for Ways to Travel Better) -
we have once again partnered with U Thrive Europe, a young non-profit organisation from Brussels. The project lasted one year - from May 2022. until May 2023.
iContribute gave an opportunity to young people age 18 to 25 to explore the habits of their generation tourists, the benefits of travelling, and the impact of tourism on the local environment,
specifically small towns along the Croatian coast.
The participants spent seven days at a summer retreat in Šibenik, Croatia, where they worked with professional mentors through the methods of critical thinking, debate, emotional intelligence and drama. They raised questions about the sustainable travel practices of their generation,
conducted interviews with young tourists and locals, and looked for answers.
The final product of the project are the four short videos each presenting one chapter of
"Sustainable Travel Guide for Young Travellers"
that the participants created in the months following the retreat,
and posted on YouTube and social media.
You can find out more about each activity below and under Sustainable travel guide activity we have also included the links for all four parts (videos) of the travel guide available on our YouTube channel.
