The aim of this project is to build co-operation between the schools of Villány and Orahovica, which both have considerable experience in fruit growing and processing, in order to improve vocational education in the region. In the school in Orahovica a construction of a wine cellar is planned, as well as equipping of multifunctional classrooms for the teaching of wine growing and wine making, while in Villány a spirit distiller is planned to be installed for educational purposes through necessary reconstruction work on the building. The project will also include a joint professional programme including two conferences, workshops and a student exchange programme. Achievements: In order to promote good practices in learning and to exchange experiences in the education of wine and spirits producers, two schools came together and organised several joint programmes. The students of the schools took part in several study visits, learning from their colleagues the specifi cities of wine production in the neighbouring areas and visiting the local producers. To support the hands-on approach to learning, the schools were furnished with new wine and spirits producing facilities and equipment
