Project description

It is no secret that the interest and concern about sustainability are increasing among HORECA stakeholders – investors, owners, customers. Sustainability is the process that demands initiatives and understanding of how the HORECA sector can become more sustainable, not just environmentally but also socially and economically. Becoming more sustainable refers not only to making business operations more efficient and effective but also to staying relevant in the ever-evolving and competitive market and being able to respond to current and future market demands. Osnabrück Declaration 2020 (EC) identifies sustainability as one of the challenges to be addressed in VET, and recognizes the importance of education on sustainability. The studies reveal that sustainability is not a separate subject – it is embedded across all relevant learning areas; therefore, education on sustainability should be incorporated as a cross-curriculum priority across all curriculum areas.
