Viktoriia Krasnomovets, Associate Professor at the Department of Tourism and Hotel and Restaurant Business of Bohdan Khmelnytsky National University of Cherkasy (BKNUC), participated in a professional webinar entitled “Prevence plýtvání potravinami” (“Preventing Food Waste”), which took place in the Czech Republic.

The webinar was organised by Zachraň jídlo, z.s. (Save the Food Association), with Veronika Mejkalová as the lecturer. Upon completion of the training, Viktoriia Krasnomovets received a certificate of participation.

The seminar focused on a topic of particular relevance to today’s hospitality, restaurant, and tourism sectors, where the efficient use of food products, the prevention of food waste, and responsible resource management are essential components of sustainable development.

Participation in the webinar provided an opportunity to learn about European practices in the field of food waste prevention and explore current approaches that could be integrated into the educational process to prepare future professionals in tourism, hotel management, and the restaurant industry.

The knowledge gained and the international experience acquired will contribute to the further enhancement of the lecturer’s professional expertise and will also inform the teaching of subjects related to the operation of hospitality establishments, the food service industry, and the principles of sustainable development.

Enhancing the international professional competencies of academic staff and incorporating European expertise into the educational process play an important role in improving the quality of professional training for future specialists in the tourism and hospitality sectors.
