The implementation of the project "Cook from the inside" was aimed at undertaking joint activities, involving the acquisition of professional competencies, development of existing qualifications in the field of gastronomy and learning about the culture, history and traditions of Poland and Lithuania. The goal was to learn about cultural diversity, thanks to the numerous activities carried out with the partner group. During the implementation of the project, workshops and culinary demonstrations were conducted. The young people prepared dishes under the supervision of qualified cooks, and then tasted the prepared dishes. The cooks gave practical tips, relevant culinary information that the youth could put into practice. There were trips and educational trails, meetings with Wlodawa artists and ladies from the housewives' circle. The youth participated in evaluation meetings, integration activities, talks, discussions, opinion sessions, a cultural evening, a meeting with the mayor of Wlodawa. An additional goal of the project was for tutors to compare the methods of education and work from the two participating countries. Specific goals: learning to cooperate with each other, patience, tolerance and understanding of different approaches to problems and how to solve them. Increase in language competence, learning industry phrases, politeness. Increase in self-confidence and self-esteem. The assumptions of the project included making new friends, strengthening relationships with people from another country.
