ENAC Puglia heads to Copenhagen

Thanks to the Erasmus+ programme, from 5 to 26 June, some ENAC Puglia students had the opportunity to undertake a three-week training internship in Copenhagen at the Copenhagen Hospitality College: the city’s most important hotel school, with around 900 students, offering professional courses in pastry, bakery, bread making and gastronomy.

The college has a canteen and a teaching restaurant, both used for lunch breaks by students and staff, and it was here that the ENAC Puglia students actively participated in the daily preparations, completing the tasks assigned to them in complete autonomy. Based on the excellent results, the Danish tutors gave them the opportunity to organise two Italian-style menus: both events were overbooked, something that had never happened before!

In addition, a training day was organised at UN City: a complex that houses 11 UN agencies, with 2,000 employees and two campuses. Here, the students took part in a masterclass on natural food fermentation processes and collaborated in the catering service for UN City employees.

The students demonstrated their professionalism, technical skills and autonomy in an external context that was numerically challenging compared to our training environments. They communicated in English with tutors and students and were appreciated for their friendliness and cheerfulness.
