The assumption underlying the project we propose is anchored in bringing learning experiences in a school context closer to the real situations encountered by the professions in their daily lives. If students perceive that the challenges they are presented with have a direct relationship with real work situations in their working life, this constitutes an extra reason to increase their motivation and commitment in the different phases of the project until they reach an achievable result. The methodology on which our proposal is based – internationally known as Project Based Learning – has proven to be particularly relevant to give substance to the aforementioned assumption and to mobilise a very diverse set of cognitive, emotional and behavioural skills.

This project aims to provide students with a multidisciplinary, integrated, collaborative and stimulating learning experience, which creates a favourable environment for the development of skills in the following areas:

• Bringing students closer to entities operating in the Tourism and Leisure sector;
• Simulation of real professional situations;
• Oral and written communication;
• Use of foreign languages;
• Procedures and strategies for gathering information;
• Information processing;
• Use of digital tools;
• Heritage education;
• Organisation and planning of tourism programmes and activities;
• Autonomy and sense of responsibility in the organizational process;
• Establish relationships between the theoretical concepts studied in classes with the empirical, instrumental and operational reality.

The Challenge:

• Prepare a real professional situations;
• Heritage education;
• Establish relationships between the theoretical concepts studied in classes with the empirical, instrumental and operational reality.
