The had chances to work in the field of fashion, to evaluate their work so far on the tasks given by their teachers and to meet other participants in the project. The visits to the Museum of Gastronomy, the Culinary School and the sights were a great possibility to feel the life and traditions of the country. All was well- organised and pleasant. Students tried typical food and visited very interesting places. Our host made our visit a memorable experience and gave us a warm welcome all through the stay

The visit to the museum of gastronomy was very good idea. Teachers and students learnt about the art of cooking and its evolution and development in society until the present time. It was an enriching activity for both students and teachers. We also had the opportunity to admire the work done by Czech school regarding fashion in the show organised in the Europe house. Teachers also learnt about the vocation courses, regarding cooking, with the visit to a school and we also discovered how beer is produced, visiting the brewery of this school • Turkish team Gastronomy museum was interesting and informative. We did not have anything based on the culture of Prague. But the art related fashion show was nice.
