The WP2 - Learning Curriculum for Barista is a comprehensive and innovative tool for Barista educators and learners. The curriculum (Module 1 and Module 2) is specifically designed to address the challenges faced by teachers and learners in national and European settings, and to equip them with the necessary knowledge and skills to effectively teach and promote Barista training skills

It covers a range of topics related to Barista, including tourism contexts, and will be developed in line with the most modern EU principles of curriculum development. The curriculum aims to achieve specific learning outcomes for both teachers and learners, such as the ability to effectively teach and promote Barista education, and the ability to develop innovative solutions to challenges in tourism education. The ultimate goal is to empower adult and community teachers and educators to have a positive impact on their communities and promote validation and transparency of Barista training skills in various contexts.

Previous to the development of Modules 1 and 2, national surveys have been carried out for identifying and ranking the skills and topics considered essential by hospitality industry employers across six countries: France, Greece, Italy, Macedonia, Spain, and Turkey. The 83 respondents included coffee shop owners, bar owners, and barista instructors. The survey consists of both close-ended and open-ended questions to gather comprehensive data.

The development of the Barista education curricula are based on the findings and recommendations of these surveys, with a focus on meeting the needs of employers and visitors and emphasising environmental protection. For this, partners have worked in a collaborative way to define the competences and the learning units that cover the different relevant areas defined in the Barista project. This structure of competences and learning units creates the Learning Outcomes of the Curriculum articulated in terms of knowledge, skills and level of responsibility and autonomy
