Background

We wanted to offer internship for a number of students from the Staffan upper secondary school in Söderhamn, Sweden, studying tourism by support from a school in Seville, Spain also active with training for the tourism sector. Our aim was to give the students a chance to learn more about the tourism sector in other countries and the conditions for the staff in the tourist sector i.e "learning by doing": experience how real service is provided by qualified proffessionals in the tourism sector. We wanted to organise the mobility in conditions different from the conditions available in Sweden, a huge tourist destination like Seville, most different from existing destinations in Sweden.
