Key Action 2: Strategic Parterships

Multilingualism is one of the main pillars of the vision of the European Union from the perspective of 2020. The basic assumptions
and policies of the European Commission indicate that all of us should work towards adapting language contents to the nature of
learning group.

Tourists guides are professional group which in terms of knowledge of foreign languages definitely does not meet expectations.
Only 25% of tourist guides throughout Europe speak a foreign language in their professional life. This is primarily caused by the lack
of time to learn the language, the inadequacy of the existing range of languages to the nature of work of tourist guides, there is on
offer a dedicated course for this target group.

In this project six countries will be working on the developement of tailored m-learning courses for languages in the area of tourism.
Danmar Computers - (Poland) Coordinators and IT specialist
iberika education group gGmbH - (Germany) Partner and Developers of the Didactic Part
Sea Teach - (Spain) Partner
YouNet -(Italy) Parnter and in charge of the dissemination of the project
Know and Can Association - (Bulgaria) Partner and in charge of the evalutation of the project
Giresun Egitimciler Dernegi - (Turkey) Partner

The main aim of this project will be to raise the indicator of employability among tourist guides and to improve their vocational competencies by means of improving their language skills. With this aim we will provide a precisely tailored professional m-learning language courses in English, German or Spanish.

The Golic Guide project will have 4 main outcomes:
O1. A Comprehensive Research Report: a detailled description of situation at hand
O2. 10 modules of language courses profiled in terms of content accurately for tourist guides
O3. A Collection of good practices concerning guiding of foreign tourists with the clear definition of differences between the countries
of origin of tourists. Multicultural competences
O4. The m-learning content delivery space for the courses

Thanks to the above, the target group will have access to precisely profiled language courses (English, German and Spanish) available on mobile devices, along with a set of best practices "how to deal with a tourist from abroad?"

We expect an impact on the target group of the project and relevant stakeholders of about 2,000 people across the partnership (testing, multiplayer events, dissemination).

Nov. 05-06. 2014 We hold our kick of meeting in Rezsow Polan. In this very productive first meeting we checked responsibilities, deadlines, working policy, dissemination strategy and evaluation plan.

We have already started the Research Phase of the project and by the next meeting in Spain we will have started developing the fist structures for the language modules.
