Discription:

CULTOUR+ is a Strategic Partnership (SP) of universities, local governments, SMEs and NGOs, that following the mainlines of the Higher Education Modernisation Agenda, will offer high quality and innovative courses and tools, integrating innovation, international mobility and cross-border cooperation to enhance capacity building in higher education curricula in the fields of cultural tourism and hospitality, cultural management and shared cultural heritage.

The SP is formed by partners sharing high degrees of youth unemployment and low-quality employment as well as high percentages of mismatching between labour market supply and demand. To decrease these rates, it is fundamental that academics work along with SMEs and NGOs professionals in designing and developing experimental curricula more accurate to provide those skills demanded to take advantage of cultural resources as career opportunities. Partners have been selected following criteria to foster the triangle knowledge in intra-national, cross-border and international levels. Source: www.cultour.pbworks.com
