Some Challenges in Tourism Education:

Internationalization Of tourism markets, of the industry and of labour market Of student markets: international marketing (Europe: Germany, Spain, Eastern Europe, Turkey) Asia (China, Nepal) and Africa Emphasis on cross-cultural skills International classroom (how to create synergy between different ways of learning and thinking?) Traineeships abroad, student exchange programmes (Erasmus) In future: distance learning programmes? (bring knowledge to people instead of people to knowledge....) Training programmes, curriculum development (export of expertise)

Education permanente: education does not stop after graduation

A Leading Principle of EU

Knowledge and skills easily get outdated

Learning, Adaptation, Flexibility, Analytical skills are values of the future

Companies and institutions become flexible organisations

Co-operation between corporate world and educational sector: curriculum development, research, training, dual programmes

Lecturers get involved in business world and vice versa...

Knowledge and Learning Networks

Individualisation & Flexibility Demand for experts with unique profiles Education becomes demand/ industry oriented The End of “one size fits all” curricula Competences define learning objectives and curricula. Every individual has its own professional profile, learning needs and learning styles (acquiring competences)

Demand for experts with unique profiles

Education becomes demand/ industry oriented

The End of “one size fits all” curricula

Competences define learning objectives and curricula.

Every individual has its own professional profile, learning needs and learning styles (acquiring competences)

So, the student: Develops his/her own, unique, competitive profile on the labour market, based on talents and ambitions Is responsible for his/her learning process: personal learning routes Develops not only as a professional, but also as a human being. Focus on social and human attitude and skills.

Develops his/her own, unique, competitive profile on the labour market, based on talents and ambitions

Is responsible for his/her learning process: personal learning routes

Develops not only as a professional, but also as a human being. Focus on social and human attitude and skills.

The End of Lecturing is near... Traditional education is based on reproduction of knowledge Lecturer looses monopoly on knowledge and information Knowledge easily expires (“best before....”) anyway This knowledge too often does not represent “competences” defined by the actual and future needs of the industry Students are experts in collection of information The end of question/answer exams and of multiple choice exams

The planet and its people... The planet is the key resource of tourism Post-materialism is gaining ground Corporate Social Responsibility is becoming mainstream (Tourism industry is lagging behind...) Sustainability gets integrated in the tourism curriculum
