Justin Meurer (Germany, Sustainable Tourism) and Carlos Picanço (Portugal, Sustainable Tourism)

The Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs programme was a pivotal experience in my journey towards sustainable tourism entrepreneurship, as, under the mentorship of Carlos Picanço at Futurismo Azores Adventures, I was able to hone my skills in sustainable strategy and project management as well as gaining a profound understanding of the delicate balance between tourism and its diverse impacts on communities, the environment, and animals. The EYE programme isn’t just about professional growth – for me it was about becoming part of a larger movement towards a sustainable future, and I would wholeheartedly encourage every aspiring entrepreneur to seize this opportunity! The insights, networks, and experiences you gain are invaluable and will undoubtedly shape your entrepreneurial path. Weiterlesen …

Maja Kaninska (Serbia/Communication) and Milutin Jošić (Slovenia/Consulting, Marketing, and Communication)

Milutin Jošič (HE): “At the very beginning, young entrepreneurs need to get confidence through knowledge and practical experience on the field. Maja is a hard-working person, very focused and goal-oriented, with excellent analytical and communication skills. It was a unique opportunity for me to mentor her. The best reward was when I noticed how she was gradually becoming more and more independent and self-confident while she was fastly learning both in our office and on the field. After six months of exchange, she is ready to run her own business, and it will be my pleasure to continue collaborating with her on a professional level in the coming months.” Weiterlesen …
