The CookEU project is a pioneering initiative aimed at modernizing Vocational Education and Training (VET) schools, particularly in the gastronomy sector. The project’s primary goal is to enhance skills matching and anticipation, thereby increasing the attractiveness of VET programmes for NEET and adults seeking professional re-orientation.
We place special emphasis on the distinctive dishes of Balkan cuisine, which are rich in flavors and historical backgrounds. Through our free online courses, we provide the opportunity to familiarize yourself with these dishes and learn how to prepare them in your own home. Our courses are interactive and easy to follow, allowing anyone to participate, whether they are experienced chefs or novice culinary enthusiasts.

The CookEU project recognizes the impact of digitalisation on education. It aims to launch digital VET courses, providing flexibility and accessibility for learners who may already be engaged in the labour market.
The project seeks to foster international cooperation initiatives among culinary vocational schools, particularly in the targeted countries. This is a rare occurrence and is expected to enrich the curriculum with traditional dishes from neighbouring countries.
The project acknowledges the need for stronger cross-sectoral and multi-stakeholder approaches to build linkages between sectors and ease education-to-work transitions for learners.
The project aims to enhance the image of VET schools within their local communities and among employers by modernising curriculum, courses, and methodological approaches.
The CookEU project is a response to the evolving needs of labour markets influenced by globalisation and digitalisation. It aligns with the Council Recommendation of 24/11/2020, urging VET providers to increase the flexibility of their programmes. The project is a significant step towards internationalising VET schools, promoting digitalisation in education, and enhancing the attractiveness of vocational education.
