Dinnertime citizens !From European food culture to humanitarian issues

Description

With an estimated population of 9 billion people by 2050, « Food For All » is a real issue of the 21st century. It is also a matter of sustainable development.During the first year, the participants of the project will be invited to work on the importance of food in literature and cinema throughout the ages, on dietary transition and the sharing of ressources.During the second year, the focus will be on food supplies, young people's health, consum'action, solidarity and the consequences on biodiversity.The topic of this project arose after a phase of investigation and consultation of the school's students and staff members. The French steering committee created the initial project and decided to include digital media and to answer the students' growing demand to improve their skills in foreign languages.Once the topic and the language used for the project had been decided upon, numerous contacts were established. This procedure started in October 2018 and was extremely profitable.The objective was to find diverse schools - in terms of profile, number of students, origins of the students, social diversity - but with common points :- the same observation as France as to young people's diet and their growing concern for the environment,- the teaching of various foreign languages,- the increasing use of digital tools and the wish to improve in that field.The project aims at :1) demonstrating that food is more and more linked to sustainable development in Europe and that quality prevails over quantity when dealing with young people's health.2) getting the participants involved in actions of solidarity and responsible consumption.3) raising awareness about the relationship between biodiversity and human nutrition.4) getting a certification in digital skills by the various government departments and also in language skills for the staff members and students alike.Groups of teachers (5 to 9 per country) teaching various subjects and with diverse skills will escort groups of 14 to 18-year-old students (20 to 25 per country). Each student will have a penpal in each partner country and they will communicate in English, French or Spanish. First, students will be able to communicate in the language they feel more comfortable with, and then they will use the language they wish to get a certification in. Most of the project activities will involve tasks which will enable both students and teachers to develop their digital skills as well. All the students will work on the same activities at the same time in order to share information. It will help to make an assessment and plan future actions, help to reflect on stereotypes and contribute to the building of a European citizenship.The assessment of the project (video reports, collaborative blogs, surveys, articles...) will be regularly put on line on the project's website and presented during Erasmus receptions. We do hope the diffusion of the assessment will not be supported only by the students and teachers working on the project but also by other teachers, students' parents or school boards.We expect the project to have an influence on the school's internal dynamysm, students' motivation and competitiveness. Moreover, this kind of project enables students' parents and the local population to get invoved on a broader scale. It is also a good way to make the school better known in the town/city or in the region. Finally, it is a great opportunity to bring teachers, students and their families together.An Erasmus project can only succeed if all the planned actions and activities pave the way to a real European dynamic, future partnerships and real or virtual mobilities.
