🇪🇺 Erasmus+ Job Shadowing at Hotel Villa Gaia

Today, as part of the Erasmus+ Job Shadowing Mobility hosted by Associazione Network senza confini APS, Ana Pelegay Lacasta, teacher in the Hospitality and Tourism Department at IES Biello Aragón - Sabiñánigo, Spain, carried out an observation activity at Hotel Villa Gaia in Chianciano Terme.

The activity focused on the daily organisation of a small hospitality business: reception management, customer care, communication with guests, accommodation services and the role of local hotels in the tourism ecosystem of Chianciano Terme.

Together with the staff of Hotel Villa Gaia, we reflected on how hospitality is not only about accommodation, but also about welcoming people, sharing the identity of a territory and creating meaningful connections with local culture, wellbeing and sustainable tourism.

This experience offered a valuable link between vocational education and real professional practice, allowing Ana to collect ideas, examples and good practices that can be transferred to her teaching work in Spain.

We sincerely thank Hotel Villa Gaia for the warm welcome, the cooperation and the valuable contribution to this European learning experience.

🇪🇺 Welcome to Tuscany, Ana! 🇮🇹

Today we welcomed Ana Pelegay Lacasta, teacher in the Hospitality and Tourism Department at IES Biello Aragón – Sabiñánigo, Spain, for an Erasmus+ Job Shadowing Mobility hosted by Associazione Network senza confini APS.

During this week, Ana will take part in a professional observation and exchange programme focused on hospitality management, sustainable tourism, local gastronomy, thermal waters, wellbeing, cultural heritage and territorial development.

As part of her welcome kit, we gave her a publication by the Comune di Chianciano Terme dedicated to Luigi Antonio Paolozzi and to the ancient use of the mineral waters of Chianciano. It is a way to begin this mobility from the memory of the territory: its history, its cultural identity, and the deep connection between water, health, community and local development.

We are glad to accompany this European learning experience, connecting education, territory, local enterprises and international cooperation.

🇪🇺 Welcome to Network without borders, Ana! 🇮🇹
