As part of the JolnOuT project, an e-learning platform was created for the members of the e-paithros Network. The educational materials are designed with a focus on sustainable development and rural tourism.
The educational programme of the JoinOuT e-learning platform was developed by the IDEA training project team. It is structured into seven (7) modules designed to cover the following alternative forms of tourism using an interdisciplinary and intersectional approach:
- Agrotourism
- Ecotourism & Geotourism
- Gastronomic Tourism & Wine Tourism
- Marine and Diving Tourism
- Health & Wellness Tourism
- Sports Tourism
- cultural tourism
The JoinOuT e-Learning Programme aims to:
- To raise participants’ awareness so that they can incorporate the principles of sustainability into their general approach to behaviour.
- To improve the services provided in relation to alternative forms of tourism in Crete, in line with the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Curriculum Design for the 7 JolnOuT Modules
Sustainable development is the common interdisciplinary focus of the curriculum design. All seven (7) educational modules of the JoinOut Programme adopt an intersectional approach to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the UN for 2030 and endorsed by the Member States of the European Union. The curriculum design and the creation of the online interactive materials reflect a scientific and dynamic process that respects and promotes the principles of digital accessibility and inclusion.
The project entitled “Joint Innovative Activities for Outdoor Tourism” and distinctive title: “JolnOuT”, is implemented within the framework of the Action “Cooperative Innovation Formations/SCC” - 2nd Call: Businesses” and is financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and by National Resources in the context of the Operational Program “Competitiveness, Entrepreneurship and Innovation (EPANEK)” of the NSRF 2014-2020″ (Project code: ΓΓ2CL-0359457).
