Objectives

The main aim of "Food for Youth" bilateral youth exchange is to raise awareness and create space for learning and sharing experiences among youngsters coming from 2 countries: Austria and the Netherlands. With this Youth Exchange we would like to give an opportunity to youngsters we are working with, to learn about inter-cultural learning, get skills for micro farming, healthy food production, organizing food serving events, learn about food foraging and explore food of different cultures and all this in experience in international project context. What are the objectives of this project? 1. Fostering mutual understanding and inter- cultural learning, thus minimizing stereotypes and prejudices 2. Learn about maintaining healthy life style through healthy food 3. Raising knowledge about healthy food production, micro farming, food foraging, food recycling 4. Empowering participants with knowledge and competencies to organize inter-cultural food events in local communities 5. Experience education through non-formal methods 6. To promote Erasmus+ programme opportunities that participants can use in their future The issues and needs addressed in this project are reflection on the current situation of Youth eating habits. Numerous studies show that young people are eating less and less healthy food, which we think is one of the most important issues to be solved if we look at the general health level, being active, having motivation, study results and many other aspects of life which can be diminished by unhealthy nutrition habits. Thus enhancing life skills and competences among young people to support growth and innovation for the future of Europeann community.
