This project included the students of the Scientific Master's in Language and Intercultural Communication and Tourism as well as those of the third year of the Bachelor, majoring in Communication. Students have a good command of the French language (level B1/B2). Their curriculum contains modules related to communication, culture and civilization such as: History of France, French Civilization, History of Art, Communication Theories, Intercultural Communication, Tourism Communication, Communication Strategies and Techniques, etc. The profile of the students is quite homogeneous in terms of their linguistic, interdisciplinary, multilingual and socio-cultural skills. This professional experience offered the students the realization of a product that comes out of the classic framework of university tasks and confronted them with the problems, conditions and responsibilities of a job in a professional framework. Students have the opportunity to face the fulfillment of objectives as in the real world of employment: working in teams and with partners, respecting deadlines and rigorous planning, etc.
At the university level, this project affirmed the support and involvement of students in projects and activities of cultural and tourist actors (such as museums, media) as well as the willingness of exchanges and collaborations with partners in the professional field.
