Background

Tailor, florist specialties are necessary and quite in demand, but not prestigious. Good professionals capable of creating original, quality work were and will be needed. Therefore, we wanted to increase the motivation of students, show a wider range of opportunities by increasing the understanding of entrepreneurship and the abundance of creative opportunities and ideas, and develop opportunities for cultural heritage. Teachers, staff can make a significant contribution to the curriculum, teaching, organizing. We wanted to raise the qualification of specialists working at school so that they could pass on the latest knowledge to students. The harmony of different practical knowledge - a bridge to successful integration into the labour market and development. Through mobility opportunities, we wanted to encourage students of floristics and sewing to look for connections between culturally different elements and to take an interest in meeting other cultures people by perceiving and promoting their cultural identity. The more different opportunities and models a student sees, the greater the motivation to work and develop the craft. International practice creates the competitiveness and advantage of ideas in the labour market.
