“…Moreover, rural communities in Iceland are relatively few and territorially dispersed. Most studies and research that have as their subject:  environmental protection and waste management in rural areas (Óskarsson, Agnarsson, Davíðsdóttir, 2022;Aquino, Leah Burns and Granquist, 2021);  energy production from geothermal or other renewable sources (Kjeld, Bjarnadottir and Olafsdottir, 2022;Gunnarsdottir et al, 2022;Ólafsdóttir and Saeþórsdóttir, 2019);  sustainability of certain economic sectors (Shortall and Davidsdottir, 2017). The breadth of studies on environmental issues in Iceland shows that there is a concern among researchers and teachers, without existing research showing that this topic is a priority for rural communities in Iceland.…”

In this article, the main aspects of a managerial nature are presented and analyzed, as well as the results of an international cooperation project in the field of environmental education in which universities from Romania and Iceland participated. Creating open educational resources and accessing them through an online learning platform is a good opportunity to ensure environmental education in disadvantaged rural communities. The conception and implementation of an international cooperation project, in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, generates additional risks that require appropriate response measures. Such projects constitute a conducive environment for the transfer of knowledge and lessons learned.

“…For example, community residents may perceive tourism differently than other stakeholder groups such as tourists or governmental employees. In the tourism academic literature, SRT has been used in diverse research to help understand: the effects of marking destination communities (Moscardo & Pearce, 2003); hotel employees' experiences (Meliou & Maroudas, 2011); the role stakeholders have on tourism planning (Moscardo, 2011); tourism transportation planning (Dickinson & Robbins, 2009); resident perceptions toward tourism (Zhou & Ap, 2009); perceptions of casino development (Chhabra & Gursoy, 2007); perceived impacts of events (Fredline & Faulkner, 2001); tourism and quality of life (Moscardo, 2009); voluntourists' perceptions of VT (Aquino & Andereck, 2018); and responsible wildlife management practices (Aquino et al, 2021). However, many others only mention SRT as a guiding framework without explicitly discussing the theory (San Martı ´n & Rodrı ´guez del Bosque, 2008;Woosnam & Norman, 2010).…”

“…SRT shows how new meanings and values are socially constructed and acknowledges that different social groups have a complex system for constructing their understanding of particular concepts (Howarth, 2006) leading to many ways of understanding a concept (Aquino, Burns, & Granquist, 2021). For example, community residents may perceive tourism differently than other stakeholder groups such as tourists or governmental employees.…”

Purpose This paper aims to examine volunteer tourism (VT) experiences of three stakeholder groups in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The guiding research question is: how does VT influence marginalized communities from the perspectives of different stakeholders? This study was developed to address a need for further research that critically looks at the social impacts of VT in vulnerable communities and analyze the nature of VT by reviewing concepts related to sustainable tourism and social representation theory (SRT). Design/methodology/approach Using a phenomenological approach, this study is founded on SRT to understand the lived experiences of VT and the perceptions of its impacts on favela (slum) communities. This paper describes and interprets these meanings with a high degree of depth and richness using interviews, observation and document analysis. The experiences of community residents, voluntourists and non-governmental organization (NGO) staff are considered. Findings Study findings indicate that the different groups expressed several benefits and obstacles to VT. Voluntourists had a difficult time interpreting what influences VT has in general for the community focusing more inwardly on their personal experiences. Community residents experienced VT differently than the other groups. They identified the most benefits from VT and felt that they had the ability to create representations of themselves and of their community overall. NGOs expressed positive aspects of VT such as more community participation but noted concerns with voluntourists’ commitment. Originality/value This study is one of few to consider and compare the VT perceptions of three different stakeholder groups in vulnerable communities.
