Our project is called BeCult and it has been funded by Leonardo. In the web page we have total of six languages (English, also a bridge language, German, Italian, Dutch, French and Finnish) and five work cultures (Germany, Italy, Holland, France and Finland) from the field of hotel and hospitality. Here is a short description of our product: BeCult is an online multimedia learning tool for young people in vocational training in the hotel and gastronomy sector. The tool is a learning platform where young people can prepare themselves culturally and lingually for a placement in another country. BeCult reproduces in a virtual world real work places in selected countries and companies with their specific linguistic and cultural settings. BeCult uses relevant methodologies for young people being confronted with unfamiliar situations during a stay abroad. It is available free of charge on the internet and accessible from any place before, during and after a training placement abroad. BeCult allows for tutored learning but does not require language teachers.
