The project aims to create a university network for post-graduate Masters students in Cultural Heritage and Tourism Management, starting from two pilot Master courses, one at the University of Shkoder in Albania and one at the University of Prizren in Kosovo. Local institutions have in fact expressed their need to enhance cultural tourism in their countries as an important element for cultural and economic development, a result that requires a professional figure with skills specific of this field.
These objectives will be pursued with the revision and reform of the curricula of the recipient countries based on the guidelines of the Bologna Process and the creation and implementation of two master pilot courses (one in Shkoder and one in Prizren). During the project many agreements with local institutions and businesses will be established in order to create internships where students can apply what they have learned and to help them entering the job market.
