DISSEMINATION AT SLOW FISH INTERNATIONAL FAIR, GENOA 14-5-2015

Slow Fish is an international fair whose aim is to encourage people to develop awareness about healthy and sustainable fish eating. It was hosted in Genoa from 14th to 17th May. It included a series of events such as fish and wine tastings, laboratories, conferences, documentaries and so on. The focus was on the Mediterranean, that offers a huge variety of fish and seafood that,however, a lot people are still not familiar with. Moreover, the fair also promoted local Ligurian fish,which is extremely good and healthy but little known outside the regional boundaries. Nino Bergese hotel and catering school was invited to actively participate in the event not only because our school is specialized in catering services but also because our students could not wait to put into practice both their professional and communicative skills to advertise Ligurian excellence.Therefore, we took this wonderful opportunity of visibility to also promote the KeySkills4EUHotelStaff project. We were quite lucky because our dissemination was scheduled for the opening day, which was of course the busiest one. Our students attracted a lot of participants standing outside the conference room and handing out the project brochures to passers-by. A good number of the Slow Fish visitors were foreign so the students also had the opportunity to test their linguistic skills in a professional context. We presented the project in detail both orally and with the support of a power point presentation which summarised the steps taken so far, mentioned the partners and pointed out the the project's future evolution. We also provided the links to access the e-learning platform.The participants turned out to be very interested in what was being said and were particularly fascinated by the innovative nature of the project. Among the conference participants there was also a group of students and teachers from a hotel and catering school who asked us a lot of questions about the project and its aims. At the end of the dissemination our students offered the food and the drinks they had prepared to all those who took part in the conference, which became a further opportunity to advertise the project.
