The Walking Towards Employability project is financed by the European Union through the Erasmus + KA2 program. It was born from the need to identify sustainable and easily transferable models of youth entrepreneurship capable of responding to socio-professional inclusion, especially in situations of vulnerability. The project aims to lift up non-touristy, often underpriviliged communities/ neighbourhoods by the creation of a responsible, community-based walking tour business. An innovative, learning-by-doing course is designed by the project partners that allows a group of youth to acquire central business skills and to design a walking tour helped by mentors.
The project is designing and testing an innovative skills path for young people based on the walking tour model. Through this, our vision is to contribute to the social vocational integration of young people through Responsible Tourism. Also, to further contribute to the upliftment of underprivileged communities and/or neighbourhoods by celebrating their cultural assets and history through Community Based Tourism. Our ultimate goal is to promote sustainable tourism as a sector that combines youth employability and promotion of community culture and contribute to policy recommendations.

Karpos develops local and European projects encouraging expression and the exchange of views and creative ideas through the use of media.
