Project ‘EU.FOR.ME Tourist training for a wider
target’ aims at filling a gap that Schools,
Universities and Training Centres offering
programmes on Tourism, have in Italy and in many
European countries. There are practically no
examples that disabilities issues are taken into
consideration in the organization of tourism
training modules.
Inclusion of people with disabilities is not only a
social issue, but, in case of tourism activities, it
is also a substantial economic opportunity for
mainstreaming tourism operators.
A Panel of young disabled people will follow all
Project’s activities, identifying the needs of a
person with disabilities when traveling.
Based on the Panel’s conclusions and a training
needs’ analysis, a course of Training for Trainers,
will be planned. The course will last 200 hours,
plus 80 hours of practical activities: the trainees
will be divided into 4 groups and will develop 4
Project Works, consisting of experimental training
modules. Each Group will be long distance tutored by
one European partner. The Project works will be
tested directly in the lessons delivered at the
Centre of Tourism Studies of Assisi .
The selection of the trainees will encourage and
support the candidature of young disabled people.
Foreseen end users:
Young disabled people to become trainers in Tourism
for All
Disabled people who will widen opportunities to
mobility
Students and graduates from Tourism Institutes as
experts in disability travels
The final products will include a full ‘training for
trainers’ course and 4 experimental training modules
on tourism for people with disabilities, the
procedures to be followed to officially recognize
this vocational figure in Italy and in Europe, a CD
ROM.
All results will be disseminated in two seminars and
through the Partners’ and the Project’s
