Through the project „New learning and training opportunities in tourism and gastronomy through Erasmus+”, we have set ourselves the following objectives: - Acquisition of new professional knowledge by 23 students in the field of tourism and gastronomy from the two partner institutions; - development of linguistic, intercultural and social skills, teamwork practice, adaptation to new working environments for 23 students from the field of tourism and gastronomy from the two partner institutions; - prevention of the risk of social exclusion by the fact that 14 students come exclusively from rural areas from different socio-economic backgrounds presenting a risk of social exclusion: financial difficulties, single-parent families or with parents working abroad, not having the opportunity to get to know the values and culture of EU countries and to acquire skills and abilities that contribute to a quick insertion in the labour market, including European.
Education in the European context has significant implications for the economic prosperity of each individual, each community, each nation. We applied for the implementation of the Erasmus+ project because: - it contributes to personal, professional and social development through the development of competences (knowledge, skills, attitudes) in an international context - it contributes to the development of communication skills in English - it raises awareness of the importance and understanding of new cultures and countries, thus developing a sense of belonging to European values and active involvement in the community - contributes to the development of organisational capacity in the context of European and international cooperation. Through the project "New learning and training opportunities in tourism and gastronomy through Erasmus+" students from the two educational institutions, involved in the project, had the opportunity to acquire new knowledge, develop skills and attitudes specific to the field of tourism and gastronomy and develop them in a new context with an international character, opening up to European cultural values.
