It is successfully over the pilot test of the TSITour project – Training on Social Inclusion in Tourism, by including elderly people as local storytellers for the Tourism Industry<\/strong><\/a>!<\/p>\n

In Italy, the piloting of the TSITour platform started in May 2021 with the collaboration of 13 VET students in the social and welfare area from the IIS DANILO DOLCI in Partinico. Students have been very interested in dealing with topics such as the inclusion of the elderly person<\/strong>, which is part of their curricula aimed at being future professionals in the field of social inclusion.<\/p>\n

Between May and June 2021, the students completed the 4 modules on the platform, aimed at the conception of projects promoting the social inclusion of the elderly in tourism, partly with the support of the CSC staff and partly independently. So far, the feedback on the platform has been very positive, it was considered clear and easy to use.<\/p>\n

By June, the pilot test of the training platform came to an end, and the students and the teacher in charge of the class were very helpful in identifying contacts in the social and tourism fields useful for the implementation of their project ideas.<\/p>\n

Since there are still restrictions in Italy due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, it was not easy to put into practice the second part of the piloting activity, but thanks to the synergies with the social associations AUSER – LIBERA UNIVERSIT\u00c0 POPOLARE \u2018DANILO DOLCI\u2019 and organizations active in the tourism and cultural sector SETER – OSSO ANIMAZIONE and ACCADEMIA DELLA CULTURA, the project ideas have been successfully implemented. As organizations active in the Partinico area, their contribution was very useful and motivating for all the participants.<\/p>\n
