Start date: Nov 1, 2014, End date: Oct 31, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

In May 2015, 25 students from our school participated, in the framework of the programme Erasmus with the name of LEARNING IN EUROPE, registered under the number 2014-1-CZ01-KA102-000018, of the training programme according to the rules of ECVET - MEDITERRANEAN SPECIALITIES in the Italy in Cesenatico. The working language of the students in Italy was English. The educational program was modified specifically for the waiters, which had left 13 pupils and particularly for the cook, which had left the 12 pupils. The learning unit included theoretical and practical education. The host organisation hotel Raffaelo cooperates with a gastronomic school IAL Cesenatico. Staff of the hotel performs lecturing work for the school. Part of the educational programme for trainees was ensured just in the gastronomic school. These were mainly of theoretical education and pupils passed two practical workshops in the school. The waiters have mastered the mainly typical dishes of Italian and Mediterranean cuisine and learned to know the basic food for the production. In an Italian restaurant they acquired the skills of laying the table and the placement of the cutlery according to local customs, to interact with guests, to take their orders and to serve guests food. They became convinced that each country has a different portfolio of drinks, which is offered to their guests, that it uses different rules when they prepare mixed drinks. During the internship, pupils learned to work with the modern facilities of the hotel, restaurant and cafes. The waiters have very quickly mastered the work with a coffee maker and after further training there was not a problem to use a dishwasher or polisher on the glass or cutlery or other modern technology. 12 pupils went to learn cooking craft. The Program is named as MEDITERRANEAN SPECIALITIES, but it was more focused on the production of food. The pupils learned to prepare more than 50 different Mediterranean specialties. They practiced primarily to prepare fish and seafood. All trainees completed the training program with the final exam, which all of them managed successfully. Cooks prepared two dishes. One dish, which in the course of the internship they learned and the other dish according to their own imagination. The waiters were preparing the workplace for the arrival of the guests, laid the table and served the guests at the entrust section. More creative task was to prepare two servings of mixed drinks. A great benefit for the development of social competency was also active spending of leisure time. In their spare time there were created new friendships, the pupils devoted themselves to sport, rest, but also other educational activities, which they ran in the form of excursions. Very interesting was the excursion to the wineries of olive oil. Trainees at the conclusion, have received the Europass mobility and certificate with a description of the vocational programme and the learning outcomes. The results of the internship we actively apply in the media coverage of the school, on the presentation during school activities, parents meetings, and during the recruitment events of the school. The pupils presented their findings also during discussions with other classmates. For students, participation in the internship is prestigious. Most of them were abroad for the first time. Pupils are after returning from the internship more interested in professional information from the field, have the motivation for learning foreign languages and they are very pleased to be participating in the presentations of the project and show what they have learned.
