Our educational institution, IES María Zambrano in Torre del Mar (Málaga), is a public school dependant on the Consejeria de Educación de la Junta de Andalucía. Taught in this center, apart from obligatiory secondary education and sixth form, are four vocational training courses, of which two are two years, Superior Grade: Tourism Accomodation Management and Guiding and Information, and Tourism Asistence. Our priority for both is to utilize all strategies leading to improve education quality, reinforce the european dimension and respect towards linguistic and cultural diversity. The participating students in the project belong to these two vocational training course: two from Guiding, Information, and Tourism Assistance and one from Tourism Accomodation Management.They have completed internships through the program Erasmus+ in the following companies: 1. Antonio Jose Cano Cobo (GIAT) interned at New Steine Hotel Rooms & French Bistro in Brighton (UK). His internship consisted of carrying out the activities and duties of the hotel reception while asisting in the service of the restaurant at that establishment (taking reservations, check-in and check-out, budgets, control of the bank; taking orders, service, mise en place, etc.) 2. Sara Caballero Calderón (GIAT) interned at Comune di Nardó (tourism office) in Nardó (Italy). Her internship consisted of performing informative and tour guide duties in the locality of Nardó. To do this, she completed the following activities: respond to informational questions by various means (face to face, e-mail, telephone), gather statistics of visitors and solicited information, organize touristic materials, guided visits, etc. 3. Natalie Faust Martín (GAT) interned at Golden Tulip Kassel Hotel Reiss in Kassel (Germany). Her internship consisted of performing tasks and activities of the hotel reception as well as assisting the service of the restaurant at this establishment (taking reservations, check-in and check-out, budgets, control of the bank; taking orders, service, mise en place, etc.) The principle objectives that were intended to bring about through this project were on one hand to increase the linguistic capabilities of the students, and on the other hand put in to practice the theoritic knowledge aquired during the vocational training in a real world experience. That is the objective of the internship of the studetns, described in section 3. In this way, the students will gain the necessary tools for a future integration in the labor market, not just at the local level, but also at a regional, national, and European level. The option of doing an internship in other European countries gives the students the possiblity of discovering a new labor market and integrating themselves in to it. On a personal level for the students, this experience gives them a broader vision of the significance of the European Union regarding integration, tolerance, learning of new cultures, etc. On an institutional level, the participation in this project, not only enriches the students directly participating, but also to all of their classmates who have been told about these experiences, and gives us an interesting local and autonomous status, because due to the participation in the project, it makes us a preferent choice for the students interested in this kind of program when they have to choose a school.This acompanied by the bilingual program carried out in our school and the oportunity of having their internship abroad thanks to the Erasmus+ program gives us a unique character in our area. Summing up, taking part in this project gives a boost to the whole of the educative comunity of Ies Maria Zambrano, because it encourages, backs up and consolidates the work of all the professionals who develope their work in our institution.
