Background

The Consortium applied to the Erasmus+ OBJECTIVET project to match the interests of the current School. It selected a set of objectives, framed in the reality of the different partner organizations, in strategic areas for the country, such as tourism, agritourism and related areas. And, in this sense, the activities to be developed in a consortium were defined taking into account the reality and the geographic, social context and potential employability. Exchange with international partners would provide an innovative training process, with different methods and professional experiences, internships in a “beyond-borders” reality that would counter the backward trend in the reality of areas with little geographic density and little professional qualifications and, on the contrary. could enhance a broader training offer and, therefore, greater labor diversity. At the same time, the aim was to provide students with greater awareness of their duties and rights as European citizens, reinforcing their European identity and feeling of being an integral part of the European Union.
