In the framework of JolnOuT project, an e-learning platform was created for the members of the e-paithros Network. The training materials are designed on the basis of Sustainable Development and Rural Tourism.
The 7 training modules of epaithros/ JoInOuT
The educational programme of JoInOuT e-learning platform was created by the Project Team of IDEA training. It is structured in seven (7) Modules aiming to cover the following Alternative Forms of Tourism in an interdisciplinary and intersectional approach:
- Agrotourism
- Ecotourism & Geotourism
- Gastronomic Tourism & Wine Tourism
- Marine & Diving Tourism
- Health & Wellness Tourism

JoInOuT material reflects a scientifically based and dynamic process, which respects digital accessibility regulations for people with disabilities. The seven (7) Training Modules were designed according to the most recent studies and international literature on Alternative Tourism and Sustainable Development. An important factor in the formulation of the final material was the quantitative and qualitative data collected through anonymous online questionnaires and focus groups, which aimed to investigate the educational needs of the members of the e-paithros Network.
