Italian Hospitality School Roma

Today we look back at one of our favourite moments from 2024, when our Italian language teacher Giulia Trojano took part in an inspiring international experience at Hotel School Riga, that enriched both her professional path and our school community.
That mobility became a milestone: new ideas, new methods, and a renewed passion for teaching that still resonates with us today.

Some memories deserve to be shared — and this one continues to remind us why international education matters. Teaching assignment mobility was carried out within the project 2024‑1‑IT02‑KA121‑ADU‑000201383, co‑funded by the European Union.

Job‑Shadowing in Vitoria‑Gasteiz, Spain – April 2026

At the end of April, the chef form Italian Hospitality School Lia Ukleba completed an enriching Erasmus+ job‑shadowing experience at El CIFP Hostelería LHII in Vitoria‑Gasteiz.
She explored innovative approaches to sustainable gastronomy, zero‑waste cooking and circular‑economy practices, gaining valuable insights to bring back to our school.
Lia also enjoyed a cultural walk through the historic centre, discovering the city’s traditions and vibrant atmosphere.

This mobility was carried out within the project 2024‑1‑IT02‑KA121‑ADU‑000201383, co‑funded by the European Union.
