Commitment to Violence-free culture in Europeans HORECA
1. Home — Building a Violence-Free Future for Europe’s HORECA Industry
Europe’s hospitality sector thrives on people — their passion, energy, and creativity. Yet, behind the smiles of millions of professionals working in hotels, restaurants, and catering, there are hidden challenges: workplace violence, exclusion, and cultural barriers.
ACT10N: Commitment to Violence-Free Culture in European HORECA is an Erasmus+ initiative co-funded by the European Union, uniting partners from Portugal, Cyprus, Slovenia, and the Netherlands.
Our mission is simple yet transformative:
👉 To inspire a culture shift in the European hospitality industry — one that embraces inclusion, respect, and solidarity.
Through innovative tools and human-centered learning, ACT10N empowers managers and teams to take 10 minutes a day to create a safer, fairer, and more connected workplace.
Because a stronger Europe begins with workplaces where everyone belongs.
2. Project Objectives — 10 Minutes to Change Workplace Culture
ACT10N redefines how the HORECA industry approaches training and culture. Instead of long, resource-heavy programs, it introduces an innovative “nano-learning” approach — a method that transforms values into daily habits through short, meaningful exercises.
Our key objectives are to:
-
🌍 Promote violence-free, inclusive workplaces inspired by European values of equality, solidarity, and fairness.
-
🧭 Empower managers and educators to lead positive culture change using practical, accessible tools.
-
🤝 Foster teamwork and inclusion among diverse hospitality professionals across Europe.
-
🎓 Enhance the role of VET (Vocational Education and Training) as a driver of social sustainability and innovation in the HORECA sector.
-
🧘 Support the well-being of workers and managers by addressing stress, emotional fatigue, and workplace conflict.
Together, we are shaping a sector that values dignity, inclusion, and sustainable growth.

10 Minutes That Change Everything
How the ACT10N Training Method Is Transforming Hospitality Workplaces Across Europe
What if transforming your workplace culture didn’t require long seminars, endless meetings, or expensive consultants — but just 10 minutes a day?
That’s the power of the ACT10N method.
Developed by a European partnership of educators, psychologists, and hospitality experts, this innovative approach introduces nano-learning — short, focused, daily exercises that spark reflection, dialogue, and teamwork in the HORECA sector.
Instead of removing people from their jobs for training, ACT10N brings learning into the workplace.
Every day, teams spend 10 minutes together — discussing inclusion, empathy, teamwork, and safety — guided by the ACT10N App and Culture Shift Guide.
In those few minutes, something extraordinary happens:
💬 barriers start to fade,
🤝 understanding grows,
🌱 and a culture of respect begins to take root.
Over time, these micro-moments of connection turn into a shared mindset — one that values well-being, diversity, and cooperation.
Because real change doesn’t happen in one big training day — it happens in the small moments, repeated every day.
With ACT10N, the European hospitality industry is learning to lead with kindness, strengthen teams, and build a future where every worker feels safe, valued, and inspired.
