The European Union has aimed to increase energy efficiency, reduce greenhouse emissions, and focus on sustainable development. The food industry is one of the largest sectors in regards to energy use and greenhouse gas emissions; which, is why it is not only relevant but essential that everyone becomes more aware of how their lifestyle (particularly food-based choices) has an impact upon multiple sectors at many levels: the individual, local, national and international levels of agriculture, energy, health, and economics.The rapid process of globalization has had a major impact on how food is cultivated, transported, evaluated, labelled, and distributed. The future economic logistics (distribution, equality, supply and demand, costs), future biological sustainability (seasonal growth, supply & demand, genetic manipulation, productivity, space), and current and past cultural significance of food (traditions, taboo, and identity) all highly intersect. These factors (and more) all contribute to one of the most complex problems of today’s global society: malnutrition versus the obesity epidemic. The majority of the population in underdeveloped and developing countries suffers from malnutrition or hunger; however, the majority of the population in developed countries suffers from over-nutrition and diseases which stem from obesity. The process of how food is cultivated, selected, transported, distributed, consumed, wasted, and recycled will be critically analysed. Our project aims to empower students to gain awareness, knowledge, and skills which will help them to understand the problem and contribute to a solution by first changing their own behaviour. Individual change will not be enough to alleviate the drastic impact food shortages will have in the future. Future generations must also learn to collaborate and think of creative solutions which can be implemented not only nationally but also internationally. Our main project aim is to increase self-awareness about sustainable lifestyle choices, and the effect of an (un)sustainable lifestyle on local/national/international levels. Our goal in writing this project is to empower young students to believe that their individual, food-centered choices can make a difference. We hope to enable these students to become ambassadors of sustainable, ethical and innovative food-based choices by increasing their awareness of the complex problem, increasing their knowledge, and increasing their skills in communicating and implementing their knowledge. The second aim of our project is to answer the international call to train and challenge students to develop skills which better prepare them for the workforce or a career at the University. Our project will provide a platform for students to not only learn about what these skills are, but they will also receive training workshops to help them develop these skills. Each country will focus on one 21st century skill. The four skills our project will explicitly focus on include: (1) Netherlands: Information Literacy; (2) Norway: critical thinking; (3) Italy: collaboration and communication; (4) Latvia: creativity. Our third aim is to provide professional development to participating teachers. Our project will help stimulate professionals to continue to grow personally and professionally. We also recognize the importance of our role, as teachers, are role-models for our students, and we can model the process of life-long learning. Didactic coaching is a practice-based methodology of asking questions which stimulate further learning, and providing feedback regarding the students' learning process and the academic task . This methodology was developed in the Netherlands but has not yet been widely disseminated. Teachers will be given the unique opportunity to develop and practice their didactic coaching knowledge and skills. These skills will not only be essential in facilitating the problem-based learning groups designed for our project, but teachers can also implement didactic coaching in their daily teaching practice. Our final aim is to strengthen the collaboration between high schools and universities and/or local businesses. We envision a project which demonstrates the relevance and importance of the subject matter by linking it with presentations, workshops, and tours by local Universities and businesses. Students will be exposed to the academic standards and various fields of research at the University, and to how local businesses must adapt and innovate to keep up with local/national/and international markets of supply and demand. We hope that after the partnerships have been established that each school will be able to maintain these professional relationships.Project quality will be managed through the online platform of Monday.com, and project results will be shared on the project's eTwinning page and the Erasmus+ Project Results Platform.
