Objectives

We desired to achieve the following objectives: * to promote collaboration, quality, inclusion and equality, excellence, creativity and innovation at organisational level in the field of education and training; * exchange of good practices between different adult education institutions and the creation of an e-book for teaching and learning; * improving the competences and knowledge of adult educators; * promote non-formal and informal learning, involving adults of different ages. The partners intended to increase transnational activity, to share ideas on food culture, practices and methods based on sustainable production and consumption. The partners aimed to strengthen intercultural dialogue, involving participants with different cultural and social backgrounds in the project. The main target group in this project was staff and teachers (more than 20 participants). Adult learners also participated in local and dissemination activities (over 300), including elderly people and participants from disadvantaged and vulnerable groups.

Background

The Erasmus+ partnership project 'Sustinable food for green minds' was planned and implemented in line with the horizontal priorities of the Erasmus+ programme. In this project we aimed to reduce the negative impact of human activities on the environment by educating about the benefits of sustainable food and climate care, teaching and promoting approaches to food consumption that are environmentally friendly, support healthy lifestyles and reinforce a responsible mindset in the production, distribution and consumption of food. The project responded to the need to improve the competences of educators and other adult education professionals to teach about sustainable food, healthy lifestyles and food culture in the context of environmental and climate change. The project responded to the need to integrate stakeholders in activities and support responsible and sustainable food production and preparation and consumption. The partners integrated green practices into the project through an environmentally friendly approach when designing activities that will encourage reflection on local activities and alternative, greener approaches.
