TALENT KNOWS NO BORDER

The development of the network multiplies opportunities and offers a wide range of possibilities in term of know-hows, knowledge, networking and pedagogical development.

Our members share exactly the same objectives and mindset, working together to:

• Uphold our gastronomic legacies, whilst encouraging teaching innovation and promoting the cultural diversity of each other’s countries via a transcultural approach to education. 
• Successfully rise up to the challenges faced by the international tourism industry in the future, driven by our core values and a common approach based on respect, mutual confidence, commitment and sharing.

I am extremely proud of the work achieved through the Alliance by Institut Paul Bocuse. We have succeeded in bringing together schools determined to promote culinary know-how and who are open to other cultures. The Alliance is the symbol of professionalism, commitment and friendship.
