Date du début: 3 nov. 2014, Date de fin: 2 nov. 2016 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

The idea of this project was born, on one side, from understanding the need of development, experience exchange in the field of services, especially, public food services, with countries from Europe, which are already acknowledged in this field.On the other side, this project comes to cover the absence of a culinary laboratory in our institution: for 4 years, since the building of our school was returned to its rightful owners, we don't have our own culinary lab. Thus our students practise in other schools with similar specializations, with which our school has partnership contracts. Even in this circumstances our students show interest and passion for their specializations: chef, confectioner, waiter managing to get remarkable results at different contests, such as the fourth place at the Gastronomy Contest in Gyula, Hungary, by Gondocs Benedek, two years in a row. This is the context of our project The finality we count on after the practical internships in the project is to build general and specific competences, according to the demands of the European schools in the field and those of the job market in Europe. Thus, the students will complete their level of abilities at European professional standards, elements that will happily complete the knowledge acquired in the classroom. To this they will add a better understanding of the economic and social culture of the host country, the increase of self-esteem, the improvement of their English skills.
