FOOD-AWARE - Training materials and visual learning tools for early education on environmental sustainability and responsible food consumption

Description

The FOOD-AWARE (Training materials and visual learning tools for early education on environmental sustainability and responsible food consumption) Project implemented from 11/2018 until 12/2020 from 6 partners in 5 EU Countries. Its aim was to empower European children to grow into responsible and conscientious food consumers by training teachers to educate their students from a young age on the following subjects: Local food production; Food waste; Food chain; Resource efficiency: sustainability and circularity; and Responsible food consumption.To achieve its aim the project produced the following outputs:1) (IO1): Training methodology and training guideA complete training methodology for teacher trainers and teachers (peer learning) to enable them to plan, organise and replicate the teacher training in their schools. 2) (IO2): Project training materials The content and the documentation to support the learning content and delivery of each training module of the teacher training course. 3) (IO3): Project teaching aidsThe learning content, developed for use in classroom, with students, by their teachers to help them introduce the topics in classroom and plan their students’ learning activities. The work for O2 & O3 was organised in the following Work Packages:IO2/WP1: Project website and online training platform developmentIO2/WP2: Training materials for teachers - 5 modulesIO3/WP1: Interactive student activity sheetsIO3/WP2: Educational postersIO3/WP3: Comics for kidsIO3/WP4: Educational videoPartners had to adapt to the COVID-19 outbreak and adjust the additional work for each output as described below:IO1: Additions to the methodology utilised for on-line training delivery along with the updated sections that were modified to include any elements that relate to an on-line training content.IO2: On-line training course with all the training content adapted to an on-line asynchronous training model.IO3: Adaptation of the platform with the learning content (teaching aids) on the project’s website to be easily accessed even as individual activities to support teachers to integrate the teaching aids in their students’ on-line learning.The project team included researchers and technician from 2 Universities (University of Dundee & University of Social Sciences), 1 school (Doukas School), 1 international food organisation (ISEKI), 1 agricultural organisation (The Polish Farm Advisory) and 1 organisation from the business sector (PROPEL). Their different backgrounds were on education, professional development, agriculture, comics, food & diet, and website development. To maximise local and EU impact the partners organised either f2f MEs or on-line MEs at a local (partners’ countries) and European level. The European Final Conference was held, on-line, on December 2020, moderated by ISEKI, with 90+ participants and 15+ presenters and speakers (incl. 3 external key-note speakers). The project developed, planned and organised a 3-day training event, on-line, due to COVID-19 pandemic, with the project’s team members as trainers and partners’ internal staff members as trainees. The development of the training was based on IO1, the content of the training was the content developed under IO2 and the teaching aids from O3 were integrated in their respective modules and presented to the trainees along with suggestions, ideas, and activities to implement in their classroom.
