The aim of the project 'I'm a European' is the cooperation between Zespół Szkół Zawodowych i Ogólnokształcących in Biłgoraj (ZSZiO) and the Centre for Vocational Training (B.B.V.) in Eberswalde in Germany. The cooperation assumes the participation in the vocational traineeship of 64 third year students of Technical Schools at Zespół Szkół Zawodowych i Ogólnokształcących in Biłgoraj, specializing in catering, hotel industry and restaurant staff. The sending party will be ZSZiO in Biłgoraj and the receiving party will be B.B.V in Eberswalde, which has rich experience in running similar projects. The sender’s main goal is creating an opportunity for the students to successfully enter the European job market. The participants will get to know the structure and principles of catering and hotel industry in the host country as well as develop their professional and linguistic competence. Working in German companies (including restaurants, hotels, etc.) the students will gain practical skills connected with the service of international customers, as well as organising catering and hotel services. Moreover, the students will learn about various techniques of serving hotel guests, gastronomy functioning and serving customers. They will get familiar with the modern kitchen equipment and learn how to prepare sets of dishes professionally. The project includes a four week stay in Germany for 3 groups of 22 students at different periods of time. Each group will get to know the most important hotel jobs and workstations, as well as German standards of customer service and staff duties. Our students, who have already completed the vocational traineeship in Polish hotels and restaurants, will be able to compare the working standards in both countries. It will give them a chance to develop creative thinking and, increase their knowledge and improve skills. The project will allow them to gain new working experience in different cultural and social conditions. It will undoubtedly extend their professional skills and teach them good cooperation. In addition, the students will benefit from the participation in the project by becoming familiar with German culture and customs, visiting interesting places and, above all, becoming more fluent in English and German languages. The traineeship will be a chance to continue the cooperation between the partnering schools in the years to come. It should also give an impulse to start similar cooperation between other schools in Biłgoraj and in Germany.
