Excellence in education in tourism. The legacy of the European Tour X Cove Project.

The European Tour X Cove project was officially completed on May 31 last. But we are already working on its legacy. We are proud to have created an excellence management tool that ten educational institutions engaged in tourism have successfully piloted. The tool is forward-looking, as a support to continuous improvement. Thus, the selective Award: “Engaged in Excellence in Tourism”.

📍 Batumi, Georgia (26–27 novembre 2025)
Abbiamo incontrato i nostri partner in occasione del 1° Transnational Project Meeting di Laying the Foundations, ospitato da Black Sea College.
Un sentito grazie ai nostri ospiti e a tutti coloro che hanno partecipato in presenza e online — entusiasti per i prossimi passi!

👩‍🏫 Partiamo dalle esigenze concrete dei docenti.
A Batumi, i partner hanno concordato un approccio di co-progettazione per il capacity building del WP3: sviluppare formazione e strumenti basati su ciò di cui gli insegnanti hanno davvero bisogno, con un forte focus su alfabetizzazione, competenze matematiche di base (numeracy), competenze digitali, mentoring e inclusione.

Questi elementi confluiranno nei materiali formativi e in una piattaforma di autovalutazione.

🗺️ Ci siamo inoltre allineati sulla roadmap del “Foundation Semester”:
➡️ pilota a settembre 2026
➡️ implementazione su scala più ampia nella primavera 2027

📍 Batumi, Georgia (26–27 November 2025)
Our consortium met for the 1st Transnational Project Meeting of Laying the Foundations, hosted by Black Sea College.
A warm thank you to our hosts and to everyone who joined both in person and online — excited for what comes next!

👩‍🏫 Teachers’ realities are the starting point.
In Batumi, partners agreed on a co-construction approach for WP3 capacity building: developing training and tools based on what teachers actually need, with a strong focus on literacy, numeracy, digital skills, mentoring, and inclusion. These priorities will feed into both the training materials and a self-assessment platform.

🗺️ We also aligned on the Foundation Semester roadmap:
➡️ Pilot in September 2026
➡️ Rollout in Spring 2027
