The project consortium consists of the six participants: SIA “HOTEL SCHOOL” Viesnīcu biznesa koledža (E10176704 – Latvia)- the project coordinator; ERHVERVSAKADEMI DANIA (E10102026 – Denmark) – the project partner; DigitalGuest APS (E10277526 – Sweden) – the project partner; INERCIA DIGITAL SL (E10145080 – Spain) – the project partner; Italian Hospitality School SRL (E10242654 – Italy) – the project partner; City Unity College Nicosia (E10155506 – Cyprus) – the project partner.

The project will meet the needs of each participant: to advance its own representation in the market, apply its own competence, merge the competences and develop the project results of demand in all partnership countries and other EU countries. All of the involved educational organisations would like to enrich their own educational resources with new updated modern resources. The topic of our consideration is represented in different resources fragmentally and not yet as the whole. The necessity to update resources, however, comes within a rather short period, especially on the topic of sustainability integrated with technical solutions – digitalisation. It is a unique opportunity to unite minds and capacities of the organisations for development of resources and build additional new capacities by them upon development for open access of the users in EU, directly aiming at VET educators, VET learners, covering the needs of labour market to advance skills of current and upcoming staff. What is difficult to finance and develop for the educational organisations individually, can be qualitatively developed by united efforts and shared as free access. 

The project consortium have conducted the survey ‘Sustainable Hospitality Digitalisation’ and analysed the results, which demonstrate the needs to design the intended project results and teaching and learning activities with 36 responses by VET educators, Hospitality VET educators, Hospitality VET Learners and Hospitality professionals or related to education or hospitality. 72.2% of all respondents said that they have not studied sustainable hospitality digitalisation before. 94.4% of the respondents said that they consider that free available modern educational resources on sustainable hospitality digitalisation would be useful for them.

What is difficult to finance and develop for the educational organisations individually, can be qualitatively developed by united efforts and shared as free access for increasing professional capacities within the EU.
