FOODCARE - WHAT IS IT?

FOODCARE is an Erasmus project addressed to youngsters aged 15+. 

Foodcare invites them to adopt new culinary trends and healthy life-styles as a concrete change for climate challenges. 

Foodcare uses Social Media to reach them and to invite them to become “Change Agents” for an active citizenship. 

That means, relevant contents are launched online and addressed to catch youngsters’ attention and to invite them to know more by visiting Foodcare Website, where they can find “Didactic Materials” to know more about the topic and learn new things.

The main objectives we want to achieve are to:

  • raise awareness about ways that contribute to reacting to environmental and climate-change challenges
  • show innovative practices to prepare learners, staff and youth workers to become <<true agents>> of change implementing behavioral change by culinary adaptation towards environmentally friendly food and measures that also help avoid food waste
  • encourage healthy life-style and well-being 
  • promote entrepreneurship, creative learning and social entrepreneurship 
  • improve 21st century life skills 
  • understand cultural identity by engaging in intercultural dialogue on culinary heritage and food trends.
