The Cavall Bernat Institute is a public school that offers VET courses of Hospitality and Tourism. The Intermediate Vocational Training that we offer are the Cuisine and Gastronomy Courses and Catering Services Courses, the two for the hospitality industry. We began this project because we have the conviction that in Europe nowadays, a quality vocational education has to contemplate ways to work and live beyond the usual environment of the student.Therefore, the objective is to improve the training of our students through their participation in mobilities to perform work training in a country of the EU, in this case France. For this reason, we have established a partnership with a French Technical Institute, the Lycée des Métiers in Bazeilles, with similar studies and motivations as ours. They will be our reference institution in its territory and we will be theirs in Barcelona.The project that we are beginning intends that four students in the 2nd Year of the Intermediate Vocational Courses, together with three other in the 2nd Year of the Higher Vocational Courses, could carry out part (140-350 hours) of the compulsory Training Module to be performed in the hotel Domaine Chateau du Faucon located in the surroundings of the Lycée . This company already collaborates with this institution at present. The activities to be carried out are laid down in the plan of activities of the training cycle.Being the first mobility that we are going to manage autonomously, without a consortium to protect and guide us, we think that the first displaced students should be accompanied in their early days by a specialist teacher. Once this first stage of the project is consolidated, a second phase will be launched in which the objective will be aimed at study stays for students and formation stays for teachers.We believe that this project will imply the following benefits:· on the displaced students: improvement of their French level and their practical training, and therefore a better integration in the labour market and a greater predisposition to work abroad. · on the students not displaced: incentive to improve their academic results. · regarding the teaching staff of Training Cycles and the School in general: an opportunity to offer a higher quality of education.
