Promoting
Post-Conflict Refugee Tourism Entrepreneurship
Welcome to Inspire
The Inspire project provides training and education materials for refugee tourism entrepreneurs across Europe. We are a consortium of seven higher education institutions and NGOs who are passionate about supporting post-conflict refugee tourism entrepreneurship. We are funded by an Erasmus Key Action 2 grant for 2023 - 2025 to develop training and education resources to support this unique population. Our aim is to train refugees to start post-conflict tourism businesses, aiding their economic resilience and social integration.
Promoting Post-Conflict Refugee Tourism Entrepreneurship
About Our Project.
The INSPIRE project, led by Technological University of the Shannon (Ireland) supports the needs of refugee tourism entrepreneurs. The project started in late 2023 and will run for two years. During our partnership we will identify good practice case studies, barriers to success case studies, and lessons applicable across the partner countries, to support the integration and economic self-sufficiency of people in refugee like situations.
Our project will produce a detailed report conducted from primary and secondary fieldwork in Ireland, Belgium, Croatia, Türkiye, & Ukraine. We will create a good practice user guide for refugee tourism entrepreneurs which will be supported by course materials, a website and mobile application. A final resource will be the publication of a searchable databank of supports for refugee tourism entrepreneurs, including education and training supports, finance options, networking and business supports.
Partners include Businet, KHNU and DVA (Ukraine), DEU (Türkiye), PAR (Croatia) and PXL (Belgium). The project will run Nov 2023 – Nov 2025 and is funded by Erasmus Key Action 2.
