BEE – Blue Economy Entrepreneurship

Cooperation partnerships in adult education

About the Project 

The project aims to support young adults living in European islands who have access to fewer opportunities and are facing economic difficulties, develop their entrepreneurship skills in blue tourism.Islands have a limited capacity to develop creative mass and expertise in new fields, which may lead to difficulties in adapting to smart economy.
