How to support tourist operators in acquiring skills in the field of the accessible tourism?
On the 23rd and 24th January 2018, the third transnational meeting of the Tour4all partners took place in Palermo.
The members of the consortium discussed during the meeting pressing issues and had a look at what was already accomplished in the last 8 months. Following the time-line closely, the project is now halfway through the second output.
The Tour4all team was able to see all the finished English versions of the modules, some already translated. Also the finished resources where presented, which will have the form of an animated PowerPoint video.
Furthermore, the team members gave their feedback on the finished teacher guidelines and an almost finished platform. Multiplier events and dissemination activities have been organized and the project is ready for the wider public.
This means that much progress has been made, with only some steps to take before a piloting will take place in Germany, Portugal and Italy in the upcoming months, and consequently the final publication. Other points for the future are meetings with stakeholders, multiplier events in all partner countries and a Final conference in Brussels, foreseen after the summer holiday.
