On October 10, a workshop was held within the framework of the international ERASMUS+ INSPIRE project.
The event brought together university representatives, students, and partners interested in developing inclusive entrepreneurship and innovation in the tourism sector.
The INSPIRE project is implemented with the support of the ERASMUS+ programme in partnership with universities and organisations from Ireland, Croatia, Turkey, Belgium, and Ukraine. Its goal is to support refugees, help them acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to start their own businesses in tourism, and promote their social integration through education and entrepreneurship.
Workshop participants were presented with the main activities of the project, its expected results, and the newly created official website – https://www.inspireproject.eu/uk. https://www.inspireproject.eu/uk .
This website serves as an informational and educational space where users can find useful materials, tips for tourism startups, success stories, and other resources for self-development.
A separate part of the event was dedicated to introducing interested students to the possibilities of the INSPIRE platform. The youth actively engaged in discussing ideas that promote the development of innovative entrepreneurship.
On this occasion, certificates for advanced training and internship at the NGO "Merkur Professional Education Academy" were formally presented to Serhii Matiukh, Rector of Khmelnytskyi National University; Yevhen Rudnichenko, Dean of the Faculty of Management, Administration, and Tourism; Yevhen Pavliuk, Dean of the Faculty of Health, Psychology, Physical Culture, and Sports; and Ihor Zhurba, Head of the Department of Tourism and Hotel-Restaurant Business. They were recognised for their activity, initiative, and significant contribution to the development of education.
ERASMUS+ INSPIRE demonstrates how international cooperation, education, and innovation can become a powerful tool for supporting people and developing a sustainable society.
