Danube Guides Action 2
Brief information
"Danube Guides Action 2" is a follow-up project to the "Danube Guides Action" project and is funded by the State Ministry of Baden-Württemberg. It serves to consolidate the Danube Guides network, integrate new project partners and partner countries, train further Danube Guides and provide further training for active Danube Guides. The Republic of Moldova as a new partner country is at the centre of the network expansion. New project partner organisations are coming on board in Croatia, Bulgaria and Slovenia. Cooperation with partner organisations from Romania and Serbia, which have been involved from the outset, will continue.
Danube Guides are specialised nature and culture guides for the Danube region. Their aim is to convey the valuable natural and cultural heritage of the Danube region to various target groups (tourists, schoolchildren, the local population, children, people with disabilities, etc.) through suitable programmes. In this way, they contribute to environmental protection and awareness-raising in the Danube region. Needs-based training in the form of webinars and network meetings support the trained guides in developing their own high-quality educational and adventure programmes. An important part of the project is also the cooperation between the now eight project partners (PP) in the field of environmental education.In order to expand, stabilise and further develop the Danube Guides network at regional and transnational level. To this end, various network meetings are organised along the Danube as part of the project. In order to lead the Danube Guides concept successfully into the future, a follow-up project is also to be developed as part of the project.
