Islanders - Capitalising on Tourism to increase the employability of young people with fewer opportunities, a KA2; Strategic Partnerships project, brought together young people from four islands; Malta, Azores (Portugal), Cagliari (Italy) and Crete (Greece). Apart from the fact that we are all islands, therefore also disadvantaged due to the double insularity and with a small population, we also share a common concern; the growing percentage of young people who are not in education, employment or training [NEET]. The methods were similar for all four countries, adapting to the needs of the young people involved, even though Malta focused more on young people with social and economic difficulties that have spent most of their years living in residential homes. Partner organizations from Azores, Crete and Cagliari focused more on youth employability due to the recent soaring percentage rates in this area. This project took place over a period of two years starting from January 2016 and targeted 40 young people that were not in education, employment or training [NEET] and the idea was to equip these young people with enough skills and competencies in the tourist industry to help them become more employable. The sector of Tourism is an important sector for all four islands since it provides a big share of the national GDP and thus it would have been easier to help them find employment in this area or utilise the skills obtained to further their studies. Through this project, the young people also received entrepreneurial skills with the ultimate aim of making this project self-sustainable. It was also for this reason that the Institute of Tourism Studies [ITS] was roped in as partners in this project in order to provide both the young people and our partners with their professional assistance. The project consisted of two main phases divided into smaller phases to create more manageable and tangible tasks. In the first phase, the young people received the necessary beginning skills and training related to the tourism sector, how to be entrepreneurial and how to manage an enterprise by successfully including project management, customer handling and marketing topics. Part of their training throughout also consisted of learning a second language or if it is the case a third one. The young people also received training on how to use social media, how to build a website and how to make use of other promotional material which not only did it increase their digital competence but it also served to kick-start the process for the second phase of the project. Thus, this project involved getting specialised training from ITS staff, getting NGOs recruiting youth workers who were in direct contact with the young people and also to rope in NGO members with web development skills that aided this project to obtain its desired intellectual outputs. The first phase included also the young people from each country coming together and explore the various possibilities for a suitable tourist activity. During the second phase of the project, the young people were putting in practice the new skills and knowledge received. Hence, the young people advertised their services, received bookings and once the tourists arrive in the country they organized, managed and oversaw the activities. This project also included three transnational project meetings scattered across important milestones within the project, thus, contributing to the preparation, implementation and evaluation phases of the project. In order to be able to implement the project, the young people met in Malta for a training. All the information gathered through this project and the promotion of the project itself were uploaded on a dedicated website; http://www.islandersproject.com/. A press conference thereafter concluded this project wherein Prisms invited the media, the participants, residential institutions in Malta, constituted bodies and other NGOs to share methods used and present the outcomes of this project.
