Dissemination at meeting of principals at Ekonomska šola Murska Sobota

On 25 March 2015 principals from different higher vocational schools, offering economic programs, attended a meeting at Ekonomska šola Murska Sobota. Mrs Nada Vadnov is principal of the higher vocational school in Postojna in the Littoral-Inner Carniola region, Mag. Bojan Sešel is the principal of the higher vocational school in Celje in the Savinja region and Mag. Jože Kranjc is the principal of the higher vocational school in Brežice in the Lower Sava region. The director and principal of our higher vocational school, dr. Beno Klemenčič, was present as well as our school organized the meeting. There were supposed to be two more principals but unfortunately they had other obligations. Nevertheless the dissemination was important as the principals came from different regions of the country and they can spread the word about the project. 

I informed the principals about the project partners, the goals of the project and the results of the project so far. I told them about the needs analysis report and the findings, the translations we already completed the course syllabus we prepared and the national dishes which have been translated. I also showed them the project website and the e-learning platform, which will be available to anyone. But the most interesting and attractive thing was the smartphone app which I presented on my smart phone and which will be available to anybody who would like to use it. I downloaded the sample application from Dropbox so that everybody could see how it is going to work and how it can be used. I also handed them out the project flyers with the project description and our contacts. If they are interested in more details and would like to provide other people with some information about the project, they can contact us. All of them were enthusiastic about the project and they could see that the project results and products will be useful not only for a small target group of hotel and hospitality staff but also for teachers and students of these fields and for a broader public in at least 12 European countries or even more.

Dissemination at the FKPV alumni club meeting at Ekonomska šola Murska Sobota

On the 13 March 2015 the alumni club of FKPV had a meeting at Ekonomska šola Murska Sobota. FKPV is the Faculty of Commercial and Business Sciences in Celje. They offer students who finish a short-cycle program and graduate at the higher vocational school Ekonomska šola Murska Sobota the opportunity to continue their study, either undergraduate or postgraduate, in the fields of commerce, business science, business IT and tourism. This means that lecturers from Celje come to our school to give lectures for students who graduated from EŠ Murska Sobta.

At the meeting the president of the alumni club, who is also the manager of the biggest spa resort in the region, had an interesting lecture about the Slovenian strategy regarding tourism in the coming years. When he finished I had the opportunity to present our project which was an interesting follow-up of the topic. Among the members of the alumni club was, as I mentioned before, the manager of the biggest spa resort, Moravske toplice, in our region, an employee of another spa resort in the region, Lendava, and two representatives of the faculty from Celje. As they either work in tourism or educate about it, the presentation of the project was especially interesting for them.

The participants at the meeting were informed about the project partners, the goals of the project and the results of the project so far. I mentioned the needs analysis report, the translations we already did, the course syllabus we prepared and the national dishes which are being translated at the moment. I also presented them the project website and the e-learning platform, which will be available to anyone. But the most interesting information was the smartphone app which will be available to anybody who would like to use it. I also handed them out the project flyers so that they can contact us if they are interested in more details and to provide other people with some information about the project. All of them were thrilled because the project results and products will be useful not only for a small target group but for a broader public in at least 12 European countries or even more.

The manager of the spa resort Moravske toplice and the employee of the spa resort Lendava also showed interest and confirmed further cooperation regarding the project as they both reckoned that the material and the learning platform being created would be quite useful for their employees.

Dissemination at the meeting of school board at Ekonomska šola Murska Sobota

On 26 February 2015 the school board of Ekonomska šola Murska Sobota had a meeting with quite an interesting agenda. Among all other points was the presentation of the project »Key Skills for European Union Hotel Staff«. As the school board is composed of representatives of the Ministry of Education, the local community, the strategic board, parents, school employees and students of the secondary school as well as the higher vocational school, this was a nice opportunity to disseminate information about the project. So the school board was informed about the project partners, the main goals and the products of the project as well as the work that had been done so far. So far a joint needs analysis report for six European countries has been prepared, whereby each project partner carried out a survey to find out about the needs of tourism, hotel and hospitality staff regarding languages for their own country. The course syllabus for 12 European languages for the language level A2/B1 according to the Common European Framework of Reference for languages is prepared and being translated into all 12 European languages. Until now other translations have been done as well, for example, translating questions and answers on different occasions such as at the seaside, at a skiing resort or in a restaurant. At the moment 50 traditional dishes of 12 European countries are being translated into all 12 European languages. They were also told about the learning platform and the purpose of it. But the most exciting product of the project for them seemed to be the smartphone app which will be available to anybody who would like to use it as all the material created within the project. I handed them out the project flyers so that they can contact us if they are interested in more details and to provide other people with some information about the project. All of them were quite impressed especially because the project results and products will be useful not only for a small target group but for a broader public in at least 12 European countries or even more.
