The Forum emploi de l'Hôtellerie et de la restauration held in Caen on the 19th of March was a meeting point for teenagers and young adults to come meet all the professional in the hosting and catering trade. This fair was devoted to job and training seeking and the main operators of the sector were there to present their offers.

| Those flyers are just as catchy as an open chocolate bar... |
Ecuisine was there too ! Courtesy of our silent partner APIH (Association des Professionnels Indépendants de l'Industrie Hotelière) who was clearly one of the main attraction there, we were able to talk about the project with many curious students or parents.

Unfortunately we were not able to display the roll-up we made last year or even to showcase some of our courses but the flyer clearly caught the eyes of the passers-by!
It was a great opportunity to start a conversation on what the project is about and what our intentions are: enable mobility for young professionnals on a European level.
People's response to our description of the project was very exciting: it's easy to talk about the project and people instinctively understand the value of a working experience abroad. To our astonishment, what seemed at the begining like a simple technological choice, uploading the videos on YouTube, really raises interest among youngsters and adults alike.
The only downside was when we told them the project would not be ready before the end of the year, but we'll take it as a good sign that the project has a strong potential !
Next week is another important fair in Lower Normandy : Deauville ! The famous beach resort and host of the American Film Festival will welcome the 10e Salon de l'Hôtellerie et de la Restauration on the 25th of March. The French team will be there to talk about the project some more !
