This unique event for young talent, initiated by PCI in collaboration with the EUF – European Union of Tile Trade Associations, brings together young talent from across Europe and takes the promotion of the tiling trade to a new level.
7 nations. 14 young talents. One goal: excellence.
This year, 14 young tilers will compete against each other in teams of two. Taking part are teams from
Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, the Czech Republic, Denmark and Sweden.
The competition stands for international exchange, technical precision and genuine career opportunities in the tiling profession.
Competition standards on a par with WorldSkills & EuroSkills
The venue is the Training Centre of the Building Trades Guild (ABZ) in Augsburg – perfect conditions for a competition of the highest standard.
The challenging task is based on WorldSkills and EuroSkills standards and demands technical skill, creativity, speed and teamwork from the teams.
