THE CONTEXT OF THE PROJECTThe project is the extension of the LdV-HU-09-TAN-1044-1073-1087-1088 VET Mobility Certificate (LLP-VET-MOB-CERT) for the 1st Round of the Erasmus+ programme. THE AIM OF THE PROJECTThe aim of the project is the implementation of VET student and teacher mobilities on the basis of the pedagogical programme of the sending institution, bearing in mind the current training and institutional development needs.THE PROFESSIONAL CONTENT OF THE PROJECTIn the framework of this project, VET learners participate in mobilities in 6 partner training institutes. In the majority of the time they spend their work practice at an external training place of the host institute, and participate in practical lessons in the host institution. The work programme is in accordance with the participant's actual home training programme at the sending institution, and form an integral part of the fulfilment of their compulsory work practice course requirements. In our previous mobility certificate projects the students did only catering projects, but we recently introduced the tourism major in our initial vocational courses and our post-secondary courses, so we enriched the variety of Erasmus+ mobilities we offer. The prerequisite of the tourism final exam is the acquirement of a B2 level accredited special language examination certificate, so spending work practice in the target-level context is a real need, where language skills and professional skills and competencies can be developed side by side. A brand new feature of the previous Erasmus+ programme was the involvement of the staff members on the basis of an integral institutional international strategy. In this round we developed further our project by planning staff mobilities, too, thus fulfilling the institution’s professional and developmental needs. French mobility enables our pastry cooks and instructors to get to know the wide selection of bakery products. Our hospitality instructor’s Slovakian mobility aims at the study of the practice hotel as well as international cuisine following the internationalisation strategy of our institution. The need for our hospitality and tourism teachers' mobility in the UK comes from the special modern methodology requirements of the newly introduced tourism and dual vocational courses. Our school trains the most, almost 70 special needs students in a vocational context in our area, among them several ones with multiple learning difficulties and behavioural disorders, as well as mental disabilities, physical handicap. We develop them individually, but at the same time we integrate them in the school community. Our learning support teacher is going to study the good practices of inclusive pedagogy in a vocational context in the UK, with special emphasis on the ways of reducing the number of unsuccessful students at school work , the ability of self-support, social integration and finding way on the labour market. THE PARTICIPANTS OF THE PROJECT:11th, 12th,13th and 14 th Year hospitality and tourism students : 44 students; 4 hospitality instructors (France and Slovakia); 2 hospitality & tourism teachers (UK); 2 learning support teachers (UK)PROJECT ACTIVITIESIn the course of the project we would like to implement two main types of activities:I.
