The project is entitled "Foreign practical training as the first step to a professional career in multicultural environment". In the project there will participate 2 groups of 16 students each aged 17-19. The students specialize in tourism and hospitality. The project involves one-month practical training in hotels and travel agencies in Ubeda and Sevilla in Andalucia. The students, according to the guidelines, will be accompanied by 4 teachers chosen by the head master. The main objective of the project is providing students with the opportunity of putting theoretical knowledge gained in the course of study into practical skills and competences in the context of European market. The school curriculum includes 160 hours of practical training in 4 years of studying, which is definitely not enough to make students employable in tourism. The project offers practical training abroad so it enables the students to develop their language skills. Furthermore, the project aims at identifying new tendencies in tourism development and connects tourism with Spanish cuisine. The detailed aims of the project involve enabling students to gain skills and competences as for complex guest services; especially guest coming from different culture, country, background or religion. The students will get to know how to use professional materials such as leaflets, guides, menu card, culinary books; give information about the hotel and restaurant; get fluency in professional English and Spanish and develop social skills.The project involves creating a Facebook fun page with all the up-to-date information about the practical training and excursions. The program of the practical training connected with new tendencies in tourism and elements of ECVET system complies with the need of organizing studies in this way so that it incorporates the requirement of the possible employers. Basing on the interviews with the local and regional employers as well as school research, we have noticed a wide variety of needs that we would like to fulfill through this project. The main need is getting a balance between theoretical and practical knowledge of our students. For the time being, theory greatly predominates practical competences. Students lack familiarity with the work culture, self-confidence, logical and consistent use of theory. Moreover, our students are not determined, success-oriented and highly motivated to learning languages. The students need to be competitive on the job market so they must have substantial practice, language skills, self-confidence and motivation. These are key qualities now, since there is a high unemployment among young people in Poland. What is more, our students have often very poor social background and family support. Many students do not have any passions or hobbies. For most of them, this practical training will be the first, perhaps, the only opportunity of getting experience abroad. Actually, for most of them it will be the first journey abroad. We expect the following results: increasing the chances of being employed in the future, overcoming language barriers, learning about new tendencies in tourism, getting self-confidence, maturity and responsibility, interesting students in Spanish language and culture.
