Zero waste power project is a part of a solution to the urgent environmental pollution problem. Project Zero waste power in the HoReCa sector focuses on the zero waste VET catering education and at the same time on a business model. It produces tools for enhanced learning about Zero waste subject and business transformation model. It connects VET catering education with business experience. The main focus is implementing standards of zero waste solution in VET education and catering business through the usage of social media and new digital tools. During the project, Zero waste practice and standards will be created - digital learning tool, curriculum, media learning environment, and zero waste evaluation tool. 1. Curriculum design for implementing specific procedures for waste management in HoReCa sector - will contain knowledge and specific instructions on how to organize work in a catering facility in a way that protects the environment based on zero waste standards. After acquiring knowledge from the curriculum, students will be able to apply the same in their future professional work. 2. Designing digital learning tools based on curriculum – aim is to support learning through personalised learning pathways and use of ICT tools - The outcome of this activity will be a digital tool, available for easier learning and learning for both students and for a broader circle of interested personnel from the HoReCa sector, such as catering facilities and hotels, chefs, confectioners, and food-related stakeholders. 3. Evaluation tool - creating IT zero waste standard tool, certificating and recognizing competence according to minimum requirements and minimum zero waste quality standards in the HoReCa sector 4.Social media in education - use of social media (Facebook, Instagram, blogs..) in presenting an idea and learning subjects of Zero waste. Tools are intended for: 1) students and teachers of VET catering schools - tools will provide participants with basic facilities for running professional kitchens and catering facilities with a mission to reduce waste, environmental protection and rise zero waste standards in HoReCa sector. Students are from VET schools, both with special need and without, (learning difficulties, social obstacles, health problems) 2) hotels and catering facilities - they will have a newly created digital tool for estimating zero-waste standards Hotel managers and executives who are in the process of trans Intellectual outputs will be tested and implemented throughout student LTT activities in Croatia, Spain, Italy, and Ireland. Learning through practice– zero waste professional learning experience for catering students - In times when young people are increasingly aware that the quality of their life is threatened in the future due to climate change, their awareness and desire for concrete activities are growing. Therefore, in our project, we will enable LTT activities for young VET catering students from three partner organizations in different EU countries to research the level of Zero Waste standard in various catering facilities. It will thus have the opportunity to see the applicability of the new knowledge about Zero Waste in the HoReCa sector. Also, they will be able to be disseminators of new knowledge and skills and initiators of positive changes in the work environment with the long-term goal of rescuing our planet and creating a healthy future. Due to the world climate crisis European environmental strategies are developing and searching for urgent and concrete actions. One of those actions is creating business zero waste standards in different parts of human activities. World policy strategies about climate changes are pointing the need for more action in the business field. At the moment students around (School Strike 4 Climate) the world is gathering for the same cause - immediate environmental protection act. This project directly responds to their quest and provides them tools for action on such an important subject. As students are this project aimed population we estimate they will continue to use gained knowledge and tools at work field as a chef, managers of hotels and catering facilities and to establish the zero waste impact on the work field. For this reason, these project results are benefiting for all society and a sustainable future.
The objective of this project is to strengthen and broaden catering education to meet the needs of society and the environment. The purpose is to find an answer to the question of what needs to be done to minimize the waste in the HoReCa sector. The more concrete aim is to develop specific procedures to meet the needs of HoReCa sector to become Zero waste sector. The objective of this project is helping VET students by creating an IT Digital Training for sustainable solutions in the HoReCa sector with the goal of environmental conservation. Also, this tools is meant for use in the work process in the kitchen and hotels. We wanted to create learning tools and new Zero waste standards in the transformation process to zero waste solution business model. The achievements exceeding the initial expectations were Zero waste materials adapted for the integration and implementation within the curriculum of SŠGT Celje-the topics and texts from the Zerowaste curriculum and e-book were selected and adapted so that they fit into the curriculum of our school. This means that they were not only implemented during the pilot testing but will remain integrated as an updated part of the school's curriculum. Materials integrated into the subjects cooking and nutrition were translated into Slovenian, too. The curriculum has been translated and adapted into the Croatian language, so that it can be more easily applied for interested users. At the Slava Raškaj Center, the zero Waste curriculum is implemented through an extracurricular project activity, which continues to be implemented through the new Zero Waste Catering Lab project for catering students. Project with its learning/evaluating tools also focuses on students with fewer possibilities in VET education system by giving support and individualized approach to a specific group of students. In order for VET education in the HoReCa sector to be more compatible with labor market needs and community environmental needs, we have focused on creating new tools and content that will enhance the process of change in the waste management business strategy.
