The aim of the project was to improve the language and vocational training of students (for example in gastronomic fields, international cuisine and processing and servicing of fish, seafood and regional ingredients were emphasised), to familiarize pupils with forms of work organization in different environments and to motivate them for further education, to improve competencies important for orientation on the labour market.The participants were led to an active approach, flexibility, cooperation with regular staff.They improved their professional and theoretical skills, innovative approaches in food preparation, and met unique technological and organizational procedures. The cooks and the confectioner gained specific knowledge about trends in Europ.gastronomy, the waiters tried new ways in serving or communication with the guest.Tourism and management students learned how tourism services are operated on everyday basis (when working with clients in tourist attractive sites, carrying out activities related to housekeeping or office work in travel agencies).Teachers of vocational subjects acquired specific skills and information about current trends in gastronomy, which they will use in teaching or as coaches of competition teams.
The project is included in the school's internationalization strategy, which we have been realizing for 5 years.Mobilities have already become a part of the school´s “culture” for our students, and regular internships motivate them to be active.They desire and take the opportunity to gain professional experience abroad, which has become a matter of course, to complete an internship is a common part of learning. They find out about the planned mobilities and destinations from the coordinator, also they prepare responsibly for the interview. In recent years, the level of students´ preparation for the interviews has increased, their foreign language skills have been improving, they are able to justify their choice of destination. In accordance with the Action Plan EIS, which is updated depending on real needs and possibilities of the school, we also manage to implement other activities - summer internships of pupils outside E+, language courses for teachers, participation in international competitions, maintenance and development of the partner network.In general, not only mobility, but the entire implementation of the EIS leads to an improvement in the level of education and to an increase in the competitiveness of our school.
