🚀 TourEdu is now live!
We’re excited to announce the launch of TourEdu, a 36-month Erasmus+ cooperation partnership (2025–2028) dedicated to rethinking how we teach, learn and upskill in tourism and hospitality.
Our consortium, Western Norway University of Applied Sciences, Universidade de Coimbra, Turku University of Applied Sciences and Erhvervsakademi SydVest (Business Academy South West), will:
✨ Identify emerging competence and skills needs (and gaps) in tourism & hospitality
🤝 Co-create innovative, inclusive teaching and training approaches with industry
🎓 Develop lifelong learning strategies tailored to tourism careers
📚 Design and pilot stackable micro-credential courses for students and working professionals
As our Project Coordinator puts it:
“TourEdu is our answer to a very real problem: the tourism and hospitality sector is changing faster than education and training can keep up. I’m truly excited and personally motivated to work with our partners in Norway, Finland, Denmark and Portugal to co-create flexible, inclusive learning pathways and micro-credentials that give both students and professionals the skills they actually need to succeed—now and in the future.”
