The project "Italian cuisine as means of increasing the practical skills of the hotel industry students" deepened the existing expertise, knowledge and skills of 26 pupils of the 2nd and 3rd year at the hotel industry school. Mobility was realized in an Italian town called Cesenatico. The Internship took place in the hotel Raffaello and was supplemented by the practical courses in Italian regional school IAL-Apprendimento Lavoro Innovazione Emilia Romagna. The main target of the project was to improve the professional training, knowledge and skills of the pupils and to extend their skills with new findings and methods of work. Further targets of the project were to improve communication in a foreign language, to enrich the professional terminology, to strengthen the self-confidence of pupils, to deepen social and inter-cultural skills, to increase the value of future graduates on the labour market in the Czech Republic and the EU.
