The project seeks to fill the gap between the considerable influx of national and international tourism already drawn to Sardinia's unique cultural heritage and natural beauty, and the lack of an integrated, diversified system capable of taking Sardinia to the next level by giving the island a strategic edge in a highly competitive market, embracing the full range of cultural tourism opportunities. In view of the competitive international market, the quality of facilities, services, and particularly human resources in Sardinia's hospitality industry lag behind international industry standards. The schools involved in Look Beyond! will expand educational opportunities that focus on developing a market that operates all year round, as well as exciting hands-on training opportunities in the professional management of tourist accommodation facilities. The training will also raise participants' awareness of the European professional training environment and work, combining local development needs with those on a global scale and offering them updated professional and cross-curricular skills in order to be prepared for the real life working environment complexity and flexibility. The project's multiple objectives include: student evaluation and comparison of various procedures and organizational approaches in order to expand on-the-job knowledge, skills and abilities; student participation in host country social and cultural life; broadening personal horizons while deepening participants' understanding of cultural diversity; strengthening language, communication and social skills; gaining or improving knowledge of specific professional terminology. In the long term, program participants will reap the additional benefits of developing a wide range of personal skills such as leadership, business sense, self-esteem and a sense of self-empowerment. Additionally, participants can expect to develop skills in working across cultures, in self-motivation, as well as a greater appreciation for the value of life long-learning in the professional domain.Furthermore, Look Beyond! aims to foster cooperation between local businesses and vocational institutions by encouraging the comparison of training methods, by facilitating work-study vocational programs, as well as through the creation of a common reference framework for certifying professional skills for use by local and overseas companies. In practical terms, the project will provide training in practical skills, job knowledge and professional attitudes certified and certifiable according to Europass system standards. One hundred and twenty fourth and fifth-year students from the Vocational Catering Schools will take part in the project. Twenty-four of these will be selected from among recent graduates. Destinations are the United Kingdom, Malta, and Spain for a three-week training period following the blended learning model. The first week of the learning experience will take place in the classroom with FL lessons focused on the specific needs and objectives of the students. Over the following two weeks, students will participate in apprenticeships focused on practical experience with local companies operating in sectors matching each participant's profile and matching the objectives of the project. A learning outcomes approach will be used . The project will be carried out over a period of 24 months • phase 1 ) Dissemination of information to participants: October-November 2014. • phase 2 ) Planning of results dissemination: definition of results dissemination plan, definition of the expected impact of the project and impact assessment indicators, identification of recipients, actions and dissemination methods of/for project results . • phase 3 ) Selection and training of participants: November 2014 (selection) and November-January 2014-2015 (training). • phase 4 ) International mobilization of trainees : 1st flow: January 2015 - 2nd flow May 2015 (2014-2015); 1st flow January 2016 and 2nd flow May 2016 (2016-2017). • phase 5) Results dissemination: after each flow through local regional media, dissemination platform, school website and social media. This step will be planned in detail in phase 2. • phase 6) Impact assessment: use of different evaluation tools to measure both quantitatively and qualitatively the achievement of expected results, the data on participation and quality of experiences, based on the indicators and tools planned in Phase 2 . • phase 7 ) Evaluation: analysis of collected information on any possible differences between the objectives and results achieved in the project implementation in three steps: assessment of the beneficiaries’ needs, ongoing evaluation, output evaluation. • phase 8) Results dissemination: at the end of each of the two years of the project, results dissemination through media and among the project partners and development of ideas for future project
