Objectives

ITS IOTA is born and operates in the Tourism and Cultural Heritage area, one of the most significant sectors for the Italian economy, But also one of the sectors that needs an increasing attention and a push to innovation for the implementation of development strategies that can have positive and lasting effects on international markets, for our students.. Our ITS, as outlined in its Erasmus Policy Statement, has among its priority objectives to promote international cooperation, mobility of students and faculty between similar European institutions, to enhance the quality and increase the European dimension of higher education through placements abroad, transnational mobility and foreign language learning, To participate actively in improving European integration and creating a European labour market.. In our internationalisation strategy has been of key importance, ensuring students the opportunity to acquire key skills and soft skills that will help them find a job in the European market, Promoting the acquisition and development of transversal and cross-cultural skills, useful for properly managing business relationships with very different cultures.The ECHE card mobility project of our Institute had as its main objective to ensure that to our students, the achievement of the maximum possible opportunities. As well described, since its inception in 2015, the ITS IOTA Foundation has established relations with various Programme and Partner Countries and signed a Framework Cooperation Agreement for the Academic and Institutional Research, Training and Development activity with: – Consorcio Escuela de Formación de Artesanos de Gelves; – Zespol, Szkol, Technicznyck I Ogolnoksztalcacych; – Empresarial Consulting Unipessoal, Lda-Informacao from Empresa; – Fachakademie DEHOGA; – Academia de Studii Economice din Bucureşti (Università di Studi Economici di Bucarest); – NHL Stenden University of Applied Sciences; – Governo Turco, Politiche del Dipartimento dell'Istruzione, Centro per l'Istruzione nel Commercio e nel Turismo. In addition, our ITS is the partner school of Hosco, the leading international platform for Networking and Recruitment in the hospitality and catering industry. In addition, with this mobility route for its own students, it has sought to broaden its relations with the following European partners, which have ensured the birth of a safe learning alliance for their students: - Det dansk-italienske Handelskammer i Danmark - UNIWERSYTET KAZIMIERZA WIELKIEGO - CAMARA DE COMERCIO E INDUSTRIA ITALIANA PARA ESPANA - AB Corporation - OÜ LingvaKool Keeltekool Inter Language - CCIP Prortogallo - ITALIENISCHE HANDELSKAMMER FUR DEUTSCHLAND - WORX.SA - TURISME DE PORTUGALE - Assotiation - AVD + Digital Marketing in tourism - DOC DMC DMC (Eno-tourism) - Escola de Hotelaria e Turismo de Lisboa - PREDIF Promotion of Cultural Heritage: a special view on Funding. - MDNA TURISM Tour operator - APAVT Portuguese Travel Agencies Association. - Copenhagen Post - The Italian Cultural Institute - Vesterbro bibliotek og Kluturhus - Crossing Boarders - Humboldt Forum - Mauerpark - MarktHalle Neun In concrete terms, each mobility has enabled our students not only to spend a period of study/internship/work abroad, but also to live a unique and unrepeatable experience. This mobility project has developed its innovative character and strength not only in the contents but also in the technical-specialist teaching methodology that places the student at the centre of learning dynamics. The project has implemented new forms of intervention that support children in their personal and professional development, and also create educational strategies and integrated teaching methods that take into account all dimensions of the person being trained. The role of training in our institution becomes more strategic within a social context creating a unique and unrepeatable experience. Erasmus mobility has created or rather started this with the opening of endless job opportunities.
