The concrete objectives, addressing the common need of the recognition of the Outdoor Sector’s professionals in European level, are: Bringing grassroots organisations of the Outdoor Sector, newcomers to the programme, together with higher education institutions in a balanced win-win partnership, building a transnational network focusing on recognition of the field.
Enhancement of the organisations’ capacity to work in a transnational environment while increasing the quality of their work and their intercultural awareness, by exchanging with new actors coming from other sectors.
Contribution to development and/or improvement of VET curricula which are adaptable to labour market needs at EU level, fostering mutual recognition of qualifications, promoting access to training for those with less opportunities.
