IPSSAR
“Michelangelo Buonarroti” is a Vocational School of Hotel
Management and Catering in Ceccano, Italy. Ceccano is a village,
in the centre of Italy, about 70 km far from Rome. Our school
continues the tradition of the well-known vocational school
“Michelangelo Buonarroti” opened in Fiuggi in 1973. Our head
seat is still in Fiuggi, while the branch seat in Ceccano is
newly opened (in 2007) as a reply to the growing demand of
professional formation in catering and tourism.
-
In the seat of Ceccano there are about 200
students (aged 14-18) grouped in 3 different educational
profiles (Cooking, Restaurant and Bar Service, Hotel Management
and Reception) and about 45 teachers.
-
Our school gives a great
importance to Life-Long Education Projects that provide an
opportunity where students and teachers can co-operate and keep
in comparison with other european cultures. Our aim is to
involve students in
collaboration with other cultures in order to create a
consciousness of the importance of being a European citizen.
-
From the first year the school
runs training classes where students can develop their knowledge
and ability in practical subjects.
-
The school also cooperates
with gastronomy locals in our area, where students can use their
knowledge in practical way over a period of 1 or 2 weeks.
-
Most of our students travel by
bus or train from their villages to school. Most of their
families have low financial income.
-
In our school we are trying to
integrate students with special needs and boys/girls with poor
material situation and coming from disorganised families. They
are supported by qualified teachers and they are learning a
craft, a way to have a normal life in society.
