Green Quest is a serious game that helps students of hospitality sector to learn sustainability related topics and practice English or French in a true CLIL way.
The game was created as an outcome of the Green Guest project.
Due to technical issues the game has moved to new web address:
Erasmus national agency, 2E2F, announced that Green Guest will represent Normandy in the French national “Territorial Observatory of European and International Mobility” in partnership with the Regional Councils. This is a step ahead in the recognition of the quality of our work following up the award of the “Bonne Pratique” label.
As our friends from Les Petits Plats Dans les Grands stated, this is a fantastic piece of news in this dreadful crisis striking the hospitality industry. The partnership expresses its solidarity with the hoteliers and their staff and hopes that our businesses and hospitality schools will soon overcome these hardships of time!
The pandemic is a terrific economic blow to the hospitality sector all over Europe where many businesses are in jeopardy in spite of the support of governmental authorities. It is said that one French enterprise out of three might not be able to re-open after the end of the business lockdown in our trade.
Nowadays, sustainability and innovation may not appear to be the main concern for hospitality enterprises which fight for their survival. Nevertheless we believe that our approach and our learning tools are more than ever useful for the post-pandemic period and can be real assets for the attractiveness of our sector in the inevitable economic upturn.
During these gloomy times of uncertainties, the strong recognition by the French Agency , 2E2F, of the quality of our work through the award of the “Good Practice label” and its recent decision to make Green Guest represent Normandy in their “Territorial Observatory of European and International Mobility” in partnership with the Regional Councils, are genuinely extremely positive tidings!

GIPFCIP Normandy together with LPPDLG held a very successful stall where Green Guest and Rock the Greens Hub, our Erasmus plus projects were showcased by Fabrice Darrigrand from GIPFCIP. The cartoon video clip “Why does hospitality go green?” by Green Guest partners, created by the Polish company Mosqi.to, was also displayed and raised the interest of the many visitors. A very efficient advertisement campaign had been launched through the internet and social media among which remarkable video clip teasers by Morgane Moutafis from LPPDLG, promoting Green Guest and Rock the greens hub approaches. A lot of visitors had a go at the GREEN QUEST and training organisations expressed their strong wish to use it in their training courses. It confirms the very keen interest of the Estonian, Italian, French learners who recently experimented it in their own pathways with several vocational hospitality high schools.
