The guides of Madrid were the sector more interested in the project. They consider important to recognize both the qualification of the Interpretive Guide and the Interpretive Host through the professional competences acquired during their work life.

In general, we are aware that the project is difficult to understand by both the general public and the tourism sector due to the lack of knowledge about the educational issues such as ECVET, EQF, etc.

Despite that fact, the sector was interested in the project and we made important contacts of relevant stakeholders to involve in the project.

Nos complace celebrar este infoday en un marco muy adecuado que es el

IV Foro "AEPT Mejor Juntos":
