Project Summary

“STARS: empowering & creating new job opportunities” is a project that links youth from the Canary Islands (Spain), the Solomon Islands (Oceania) and Indonesia (Asia). The project involves NGOs, public bodies and education institutions in order to create a Tool Kit that will help our isolated youngsters to get empowered (thanks to their cultural heritage and myths related to stars) and create new job opportunities (thanks to training of skills needed to develop astro tourism products). STARS Tool Kit will be designed using astro tourism, sustainable tourism and youth work experience of partners from 3 continents. This method will potentiate astro tourism product creation using the culural heritage (star, moon and stars-related myths, legends, beliefs and rituals) as a youth empowerment tool and an opportunity for new job creation. There are planned both transnational and local activities developed by youth workers and youth. During multiple project activities wich include training and assesment, a wide range of promotional materials will be created as well. The proposal is a result of the previous islander youth network projects that have been created since 2014.
