Future Food - Erasmus+ Project FF2021

 

Denmark – Techcollege, Aalborg

Germany – BBS1, Mainz

Spain – Instituto Educación, Elche

France – Lycée Scientifique, Chalon-sur-Saône

Austria – Graz International Bilingual School, Graz

 

The aim of the project is to make our students more aware of where their food comes from, how it contributes to their health, how food is a very general and complex topic involving areas going from economy, politics, public health issues to biology. Our aim is to raise awareness about the importance for our students to make their own choices, through information, without being too much influenced by public opinion, advertising, trends etc. The general aim is to help our students become better informed and more health-conscious citizens.

 

Another aim is fighting cultural stereotypes. Mobilities provide students with an insight into the daily lives of the host families, other school systems as well as how each participating country tackle the topic of sustainability. Educational exchange between both students and teachers – Exchanging “best” educational practices lead to improving the quality of learning for the students and the quality of teaching for the teachers.
