KA2 PROJECT - Travel, Learn and Taste the World
[Travel, learn and taste the world]
2023-1-PL01-KA210-VET-00015202
DURATION: 01/09/2024 - 31/12/2024
The project aimed to increase motivation to acquire knowledge and practical skills among participants, increase the attractiveness of vocational training for students in catering courses, and acquire and develop linguistic, interpersonal and digital skills. Other opportunities included learning about the gastronomy of the partner countries, specific vocabulary and the culture of the countries involved.
The priority participants were the most disadvantaged young people, from families with fewer financial resources to get to know other countries, at risk of social exclusion. Active participation in the project allowed the young people to better position themselves in the international job market. This cooperation also allowed the exchange of experiences and pedagogical situations between teachers and non-teaching staff from the schools involved.
The organization of gastronomic workshops, processing of raw materials, preparation of delicacies and sessions on healthy eating were some of the planned activities.
The acquisition and consolidation of language skills in English, a common language for Portuguese, Romanian and Polish participants, contributed to improved communication skills. New friendships and networking in an international cooperation situation contributed to the solid development of social skills.
