The project „Welcome among us“ is trying to enhance the educational process via various innovative methods, mainly through activities that bring new forms of education into learning. This project carries the connection between multiple objects of education. The common denominator of these activities is the model form of business in tourism. We want to give the children a better sense for initiative and business, which will allow them to orientate better in employment and potential creation of their own businesses. We are aware of how imporant the higher level of digital competency is, and as such it is necessary to implement and improve it at the lower level of education already. This more modern, dynamic and professional enviroment will allow the children to learn for their future competencies, which certainly involve digital competence. It is necessary to constantly increase the knowledge of foreign languages among children, be it through cooperation with partners from different countries. This form of education brings a permannently maintainable growth to the school, a better position among the competition of other schools and getting into public eye. The experience with implementing the project will remain for a long time as competencies among the teachers, who can help to improve their schools with their future work.
