The FOOD-AWARE project "Training Materials and Visual Learning Tools for Early Education on Environmental Sustainability and Responsible Food Consumption" aims to familiarise teachers with the concepts surrounding
- responsible food consumption;
- sustainable food production;
- circularity;
- resource efficiency and
- waste.
Beyond this, it will also train teachers - and develop additional learning tools to assist them – on how to best educate children on these issues - some of which are complex. FOOD-AWARE will include staff training for teachers and educators on how to use the project materials, which in turn will be disseminated to teachers during the FOOD-AWARE Workshops. The project will therefore strengthen the skill sets of the target groups (teachers and other educators, including parents) by educating them on new subjects and training them in how to transfer this knowledge to their students appropriately. Second, schoolchildren will also learn new skills and competences, with the aim of increasing their awareness and understanding of concepts surrounding food production and resources. This will enable them to be more discerning and make better choices, but also to pass these on, in turn, to their peers, siblings and even families.
