The primary objective of the project was to introduce the specifics of Italian cuisine, the specialties adapted to local preferences, and the rules of vocational training in the catering to practical instructors working in tourism and catering. We placed special emphasis on the practices implemented in restaurants and small farms for the sake of environmental protection and efficient energy use. A very important aspect is the high-quality satisfaction of the need for healthy food and special dietary habits, as well as getting to know the necessary ingredients. The participants can benefit from the experience gained through good practices in Italy and apply it to their work. This can help increase the motivation of young people by promoting the profession. By implementing the project, we also aimed to increase the participants' commitment to European values and culture, fostering the preservation of uniqueness and cooperation.
