Communities Leading In Tourism - Cohort 2

1st July 2020

Communities Leading in Tourism programme delivered by Social Enterprise Academy. SEA, which has supported over 14,000 social economy learners, is delivering the blended learning programme of six live online learning sessions, six days of online learning, and three planned two-day residential tourism visits in Skye, the Trossachs and Stranraer. (The residential part of the programme will be subject to all COVID-19 government conditions.)

The Communities Leading in Tourism programme will help community development organisations and social enterprises support the recovery of rural Scotland's tourism sector. People working in community development with an interest in tourism, can apply for one of 15 places in the ‘Communities Leading in Tourism' initiative starting in late September and running until December.

The 12-day programme will give participants an in-depth understanding of the complexities of the tourism sector, including exploring the challenges and opportunities faced following the COVID-19 pandemic. It's designed to develop the leadership skills needed to influence, plan and support sustainable tourism recovery.

This is the second of three intakes of candidates for the ground-breaking pilot programme which has been developed by social and economic development agencies Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) and South of Scotland Enterprise (SOSE).

Closing date for applications is Monday 31 August 2020.
