Zukunft FAIRändern - Nachhaltigkeitsbildung für Mitarbeitende und Nachwuchskräfte
Start the Change! Project
Project duration: 2017-2020
"Start the Change!" (STC) is a 3-year global education project co-funded by the European Commission and implemented in the 12 countries Italy, France, Germany, Austria, Spain, United Kingdom, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Poland, Slovenia, Croatia and Malta.
“Start the Change!" aims to raise European citizens’ awareness of the importance of a joint effort to contribute to ending poverty, protecting the planet and ensuring peace and prosperity for all, as stated in the Sustainable Development Goals by the United Nations.
With the collaboration of teachers and educators, "Start the Change!" proposes a replicable educational model to increase the engagement of students and young people within their communities. At the same time the project aims to strengthen networks among schools, organisations and local authorities.
The proposed “citizenship paths” invite young people aged 15 to 24 to explore the reality in which they live to reflect on the relationship between migration and global inequality as well as to actively participate in starting the change and supporting sustainable development.
Within the framework of the fairwärts competition, tourism companies and organisations (e.g. DMOs, tour operators, etc.) were able to submit innovative ideas and actions within the application period from October 2019 to February 2020. A jury of experts about tourism selected one winner per category from all submissions.
Three years of activities, dozens of teachers and educators involved, hundreds of Change Makers active all across Europe. That is Start the Change!

Step 1: Knowledge
fairwärts is not only a competition, but also an educational and awareness raising project. It is our goal that employees, responsible persons and product managers of German tourism companies should deal with the main topics of the competition and develop their own ideas and actions with the help of the free and practice-oriented educational offers we have created. The focus is on sustainable tourism.
