Are we what we eat? Testing - Discovering - Learning 2.0
Start date: May 30, 2015, End date: Dec 30, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The project “Are we what we eat? Testing – Discovering – Learning 2.0” is a youth exchange involving 30 young people coming from 5 countries: Belgium, Albania, Greece, Italy and Spain. It will take place in Molenbeek-Saint Jean (Brussels) from the 26th of August until the 1st of September 2015. This exchange is a follow up to a first Intermundia youth exchange that took place in Brussels in September 2014 with 4 other countries. The idea of giving birth to a “2.0 version” of the first exchange is the result of a network that Intermundia have created with the partner associations, met over the course of 2014 in different international training courses. The main topic of the exchange will be intercultural learning and the fight against cultural prejudices through food and eating habits, including reflecting upon the connection between the way you eat and health. Participants will identify differences and similarities among traditional food cultures of the involved countries. The activities will involve sharing one’s own food culture with the others, getting to know similarities and differences of every country’s culture: through workshops and non-formal education activities the participants will discover more about the other countries, in order to eliminate barriers and prejudices among them. The participants will also be involved in workshops about using leftovers, nutrition, recycling and environmental issues. Food will be the instrument for this exchange of experiences. The Slow Food Youth Network, an international network of young people who bring about changes in the field of food production and consumption, will actively collaborate in the project, as they did in the previous edition of the exchange. The final document will be a video containing 5 recipes made of leftovers, created by the participants during the days of the exchange. These recipes will be the result of different workshops and working groups where they will have invented their own recipes not to waste food. The video will be uploaded on a web platform and Facebook group where the participants will be free to share contents even after the exchange. The contents of this exchange will also be available on Intermundia’s webpage as well as on those of partner associations, thus ensuring visibility and follow up to the experience.
