Seventeen vocational training teachers from schools in Barcelona and its metropolitan area were able to see firsthand how French vocational training works and, specifically, how the professional families of hospitality and tourism, personal image, and physical and sports activities are structured.

At the same time, the government of the Occitanie Region explained the fundamental aspects of the French vocational training system, as well as the most significant differences between it and the Spanish vocational training system.
The following vocational training centers participated in the training stay: Institut de l’Esport de Barcelona, Institut Ferran Tallada, Institut Les Salines, Institut Escola d’Hoteleria i Turisme de BCN, Institut eCAT Lluïsa Cura, Institut Salvador Seguí i l’Institut Marti Dot.
