Off the Beaten Track (OTBT) is an Erasmus+ project designed to provide support to women, with a particular emphasis on women entrepreneurs aged 30 and above, operating in the tourism, cultural, and sustainable development sectors. They have either lost their jobs or faced significant business challenges due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The core concept involves establishing a robust connection between tourism, sustainable development, and cultural and creative industries. This connection will be forged through the Academy, an educational and mentoring program. Simultaneously, it will build networking among women from diverse backgrounds, creating a community of mutual support. The learning aspect will concentrate on soft skills, pivotal in today’s landscape and acquired through a non-formal learning approach. Given the demoralizing effects of the pandemic on affected individuals, mentoring becomes crucial. Resilient women possessing problem-solving skills can serve as a source of inspiration and motivation: The Women ChangeMakers.
