In an age of climate change and growing health concerns, food plays a crucial role all over Europe. Not only does the agricultural sector represent 13% of EU’s greenhouse gas emissions, but it is also at the source of multiple paradoxes: In the EU, around 88 million tonnes of food waste are generated annually even though we face the global challenge of resource depletion. At the same time some 43 million people in the EU cannot afford a quality meal every second day, less and less people cook their meals for themselves leading to a European overweight rate as high as 51.6%. Due to these overarching, transnational characteristics we want to add a European and intercultural dimension to this year’s version of our festival ‘Agitaterre’ which is dedicated to the topic of responsible and healthy food. The 100 exponents present during the festival have made it their goal to display that producing and consuming healthy, environmentally friendly and locally is possible. The activities organised during the youth exchange aim at creating awareness for the issues surrounding food, including a reflection on our individual consumption patterns and their impacts, as well as the sharing and mutualizing of the knowledge and competences brought about by the participants. By integrating the ERASMUS+ into the festival we want to add a European dimension to Agitaterre and to offer the possibility of an intercultural encounter to all participants and visitors. During the week, the participants will develop projects in an autonomous but assisted way around the issue of food which they will present on the day of the festival. Split up in four international groups, we offer them the opportunity to develop and shoot two short-movies with a professional team of cinematographers and to prepare other activities, which can according to their liking take various forms such as an exhibition, a theatre piece or a participatory workshop. These self-managed activities will provide skills in project management, development of pedagogical tools and collective and collaborative work. Our goal is to equip participants to become resourceful actors of a transition by practicing eco-responsible gestures, to give them the means to raise awareness in turn, or to create their own project around healthy and eco-responsible food.
