GLOW2.0 Capacity Building Study Modules Have Been Published!

GLOW2.0 project aspires to enhance technical and business expertise of SMEs in tourism in several ways. One of the tools to reach the goal is our Capacity Building Programme (CPB). The programme focuses on awareness and understanding about Dark Sky theme and concepts, and helps target groups develop and enhance service offers. The program was first realised in series of workshops, seminars and webinars in each participating region, and is now delivered as self-study modules. 

GLOW2.0 capacity building and training program’s contents are based on a survey conducted with SMEs and stakeholders from all four participating regions in the project (Finland, Norway, Iceland and Ireland d 1.4.2023 – 15.5.2023), and on partners’ own knowledge of each region’s specified needs. 

GLOW2.0 self study modules have been categorized in three sections that match the project’s work packages, with the additional introductory module designed to engage and inspire also those who are not yet familiar with the fascinating world of darkness and its tourism potential. All study modules are freely available and require no registration. The initial platform is Edukarelia, project partner Karelia UAS’s micro study platform. Through Edukarelia, the modules reach not only Karelia’s audience but are also linked to the Finnish national micro study platform, Opin.fi, ensuring broader visibility and impact for the project’s results. Additional platforms may be introduced depending on opportunities in each partner region. Initially, the modules will be available in English, with translations for partnering regions provided during the course of the project.
