In a rapidly changing world, sustainable tourism is emerging as a powerful tool to protect nature, empower communities, and spark economic innovation. The Starlight project is at the forefront of this movement—offering young people a unique opportunity to explore careers that blend astronomy, ecology, and entrepreneurship.
Through hands-on training and interdisciplinary learning, Starlight equips participants with the knowledge and practical skills to design tourism experiences that celebrate rural heritage, safeguard biodiversity, and combat light pollution. From stargazing events under dark skies to eco-conscious nature trails, the project encourages creative solutions that benefit both people and the planet.
As part of its mission, Starlight supports young changemakers in transforming local challenges into opportunities—turning small villages into centres of innovation in sustainable tourism.
