Based upon the understanding that Food Safety/Hygiene is an essential part of public health, this project, with six partners in five countries, will develop an educational training package for school teachers on 'Good Practice for Food Hygiene and Food Safety'. Project partners will develop a training package able to make use of relevant existing, easily accessible teaching and learning materials for the training of teachers to better teach food safety and hygiene to school-age students (aged 6-9 and 10-13 years). The broader aim of the project is that of significantly improving VET for teachers in food safety/hygiene. The project will develop, pilot (with teachers) and introduce a series of training manuals for teachers on 'Good Practice for Food Hygiene and Food Safety', with eventual training and support materials being released on CD-Rom. Practical training sessions will further be held by the project through a network of Technological Centres. The Portuguese Ministry of Education, along with other official and educational project partners, will play a lead role in the early dissemination of the project. Beyond this, the project will host a dedicated project website to inform upon project activities and achievements. Additional dissmienation activities will focus upon awareness-raising of the end project results and the distribution of printed materials.
