Two analyses for context mapping and linking:

a. “Are we ready for circularity?”

b. “Skills for the green and circular transition”.

Three innovative tools supporting the tourism & VET industry to act in the circular economy:

  • Guidelines: ‘Circular Economy. Moving from theory to practice”
  • Taxonomy of competences
  • Set of digital cards based on what are the 5 R’s of CE (Rethink, Redesign, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle)

Applied learning contexts for tourism and education and training experts based on Design Thinking:

  • Training package with 5 modules + a special section “Digital self-learning tools”.
  • 1 Transnational training programme: “Tourism & VET in tourism advancing circular-exploring the possibilities” + 4 national training sessions for a balanced mix of institutional experts in VET & company representatives & other organisations in the tourism industry/related fields. They get a potentially new overview and understanding of CE & will explore new circular models on how to turn challenges into possibilities using Design Thinking.
