KACHEN #28 (Autumn 2021) English Edition

ADVERTORIAL
THE EHTL,
A WINDOW ON THE WORLD
A VOYAGE THROUGH HOSPITALITY,
GASTRONOMY & TOURISM
During the academic year 2021/2022, three groups of
students are getting ready to experience a unique training
opportunity through their active participation in the
Dubai World Expo at the Luxembourg Pavilion. Discovering
the world, its peoples and its cultures is an integral
part of the curriculum for all students and pupils
at the École d’Hôtellerie et de Tourisme du Luxembourg
(Luxembourg School for Hospitality and Tourism – EHTL).
They will do so through a vast range of activities and
events which will enrich their knowledge and broaden
their horizons.
French cuisine undoubtedly constitutes an essential
pillar of gastronomy and occupies a preeminent
position in the teaching imparted to Diekirch’s future
chefs. However, aside from the partnership created with
Ducasse Education, the EHTL has chosen to take the road
less travelled and champion global cuisine: with training
focused on creating sushi and sashimi, discovering
the flavours of Colombia and exotic produce from the
Amazon, and even classes on authentic Neapolitan pizza
led by a renowned chef.
In parallel, students training in hospitality are encouraged
to plan and execute themed menus which take
customers on a veritable culinary voyage through all
kinds of countries, for example Mexico, Jamaica or even
India. They show off local specialities and wines but also
the history and geography of the region in question, and
develop main courses and desserts imbued with flavours
from around the world.
Students also encounter global cuisine every four
years thanks to the EHTL’s participation in Expogast, a
world-renowned culinary event which champions international
gastronomy and culinary refinement. Every
evening students assigned to the Restaurant des Nations
serve more than 900 set menus developed by competing
national teams who have come from all corners of the
globe, from South Korea to Sweden or even Singapore.
Another major event, highly anticipated by tourism
students in particular, is the ITB Tourism Trade Fair which
takes place every year in Berlin. Second year students
learn on site about and research different destinations
with a view to planning their following year study trip
from beginning to end. This has offered them the possibility
of travelling to Greece, Croatia or even Istanbul.
Finally, compulsory internships for all training
courses taught at the EHTL offer cultural and personal
enrichment beyond the borders of our beautiful little
country: students put their knowledge in cookery,
service or reception into practice in Malta, Madeira,
Corsica and sometimes on the other side of the world,
for example in Réunion.
Once they have graduated, students and pupils from
the EHTL are guaranteed to be able to exercise their
passion in a job anywhere in the world.
