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 have worked on the developement of tailored m-learning courses for languages in the area of tourism.

Third Project Meeting in Berlin, October 2015

Our next meeting will be taking in place in Bologne in May 2016. Partners will summarize the testing process, and current activities relating to dissemination and plan the details for further action: multiplier events. It will be also time when partners summarise all work, evaluate it, discuss what was good or bad in order to learn lessons. Part of the meeting will be dedicated to the preparation of final report and also to the definition of plans for sustainability in all countries.

Thanks to the above points, the audience will also have access to language courses (English and German) on mobile devices and a series of best practices "for dealing with foreign tourists."

We expect an impact on the target group of the project and relevant stakeholders of about 2,000 people within the partnership (tests Multiplayer Events, dissemination).
