The Linguacuisine project has engaged and trained learners, including those who might be considered as marginalised, in the development of a digital platform incorporating a downloadable multimedia app (the Linguacuisine app) centred on cooking and languages. The ‘journey’ as well as the ‘destination’ stand out as key outcomes of this project.The project has provided opportunities for the creation of innovative and equalising learning experiences, including demystifying and diversifying the pool of ‘experts’ who can produce valuable learning content. Our goal was that the Linguacuisine experts would include the participants themselves and that their participation in co-design would validate their expertise in the culturally-linked issues of languages and cooking, while empowering them with valuable new digital skills. The project has brought learners together with experts in education, linguistics and digital technology to co-develop a digital platform to support task-based language learning through an online learning community.Through our nexus of good practice in task-based learning, digital learning, and language learning, we have created an innovative and engaging 'Learn as you Cook' mobile app. It has a web-based European language learning community using cooking in European languages and authoring capability as its unique selling point. This is a dedicated online community where users can create, share, and explore expert and citizen-generated learning content. Both the mobile app and the online community are freely available for download and designed for accessibility, supporting mass adoption of these learning materials with a focus on social inclusion.In this multi-sector project, the app was co-designed with a group of 40 digitally marginalized users with little or no digital experience, including migrants and refugees. We thereby ensured inclusivity in that the vast majority of EU citizens and migrants will be able to use the app and author a social recipe themselves. ‘Authoring’ here means a) writing an existing cooking recipe onto the system in short, simple stages using the authoring tool b) creating audio files for spoken instructions c) creating photos and videos together with subtitles as help facilities.The tablet/mobile apps developed in this project can speak to the users in 6 European languages, guide them through cooking a recipe, and offer multimedia help in terms of photos and videos. Users can access different levels of language learning help depending on their levels of competence. Transnational value was added by translating the app and we trialled social recipes in 6 languages in total. We have addressed the needs of European citizens, migrants and refugees by: improving basic skills, specifically digital competence; engaging digitally marginalized groups with technology; certifying and assessing digital competence; learning foreign languages, cultures and cuisines. The project has created a motivating way of learning digital skills and foreign languages, cultures and cuisines, making engaging technology available and accessible to a very wide audience. The project promotes active EU citizenship and promotes mobility within the EU by familiarizing people with other countries and cultures, engaging with the ‘Languages for social inclusion’ agenda, and by embracing the experiences and expertise of migrants and refugees as co-designers.
