This Project was designed for 14 students of Secondary Technical School of Catering. The main idea of the project was to improve the professional skills of those students including ecological education. The students received training in Italy. The aim of this apprenticeship was to familiarize the students with Italian cuisine and organic food production and also to enable them to acquire the basic skills related to this issue. The training took place on a family farm Fattoria Biologica Patrice Spoleto (Umbria region , province of Perugia ). During the four-week internship, the trainees studied the methods of preparing regional Italian dishes and the ecological methods of growing plants. They also learnt about the functioning of a small family business. An important goal of the internship was personal development of the participants. They developed their business skills, improved their self-esteem, creativity and language skills, gained new social skills, increased the knowledge of the business, ecology, culture of Italy. This experience made the students aware of cultural differences and it gave them the opportunity to broaden their horizons. This project helped the school make the vocational training more diverse and attractive. Improving professional and language skills helped students obtain higher examination results. The project strengthened the position of the school as a modern centre for vocational training. The most important advantage for our partner was that the project contributed to the promotion of the company. The aim of the project was to improve the practical skills and mobility of the participants in order to increase their attractiveness and competitiveness in the European labour market.
