In October, 13 students from Chocianów, Poland, travelled to Málaga for work placements in the professions of mechatronics and tourist services technician. They spent a month in Spain, learning many new things.

The tourism professionals learned new skills in hotels and restaurants, where they had the opportunity to experience first-hand what customer service is like in real life and see if the theoretical knowledge they had acquired translates into practice.

The mechatronics technicians, meanwhile, had the opportunity to test themselves in operating a wide variety of machines, from cars to industrial machinery, which they had the opportunity to repair and service. They also learned how to work with metals and the principles of joining them into subsystems that make the whole machine work.

In their free time, the group attended Spanish language classes, which came in handy in their daily lives during their month-long stay in the country of paella and flamenco. They also went on a trip of Córdoba, the pearl of Andalusia, among other places. There was also plenty of room for active leisure activities in the form of a kayaking trip to the coastal town of Nerja and a walking expedition through the Caminito del Rey mountain canyon.

It was certainly an unforgettable adventure for all participants in this project, from which they took away not only many new professional skills but also unforgettable memories.
