Project Results and Activities

The project delivers a comprehensive training programme covering social media, digital marketing, e-commerce, and business innovation, specifically designed to strengthen the skills of rural women entrepreneurs. A central outcome is the DESTInE Online Learning Platform, featuring AI-driven, self-paced learning tools that ensure accessible and flexible training opportunities. To further support entrepreneurial growth, the project provides digital toolkits focused on business development and marketing strategies. Across four countries, local workshops and speed-mentoring sessions will engage more than 100 rural women, offering practical guidance and personalised support. Dissemination activities,including national events and a final international conference, ensure the project’s visibility, impact, and long-term sustainability. The project methodology includes needs analysis, focus groups, training programme design, development of the Online Learning Platform, local workshops and piloting, speed-mentoring initiatives, and conferences, creating an integrated approach to empowering rural women in the tourism sector.
