What if it was possible to create new opportunities?
This project demonstrates how tourism entrepreneurship training and education can make a real difference in a world facing geopolitical challenges and rising numbers of refugees. This project shares powerful messages of hope and support.
Let’s take a close look at how this project supports refugees.
INSPIRE: A project promotes refugee tourism entrepreneurship
It’s an EU-funded project designed to support people in refugee like situation by helping them turn their talents and ideas into sustainable business ventures.
The INSPIRE project is all about helping refugees in many ways, integrating into society through entrepreneurship.
More than just assisting in the short term, INSPIRE takes a long-term approach: it equips people with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to create their businesses. Through training programs and practical support, refugees can transform their ideas into real businesses — whether it’s opening a small café, starting a crafts business, or launching a tour guide service.
The project goes beyond economic development, it helps participants:
Gain independence
Feel connected to their new community
Regain a sense of purpose and identity
In other words, it empowers them not just to survive, but to thrive.
Why does the project matter?
Behind every successful business is a person with a brilliant idea — and the support they need to bring that idea to life. Everyone has the potential to create something meaningful. This project provides people with skills, training and encouragement they need to realise their business ideas and build a brighter future.
