Empowering educational communities with educational resources to change the food system!
About the Project
FOODSHIFT Pathways is an Erasmus+ project running from 2022 – 2025 and looks at the role of food education for the sustainable transformation of our food system(s)
Working with 6 partners across 6 European countries, FOODSHIFT Pathways works together with schools, teachers and other educational staff to understand how sustainability, climate and food is integrated into education, and how this can be improved to meet the changing needs of society.
Our Role and Goal
We support teachers on food education by providing them with educational tools and knowledge to support them in their teaching efforts.
The goal is to develop theoretical and practical learning skills of students (10 – 16 years) and encourage them in critical and creative thinking about our food environment and eating habits.
For this pilot project, we are looking for motivated teachers and school leaders in the Netherlands that want to test our educational resources in schools at level PO, VO and MBO.
How does it work?
- We inform teachers and school leaders on the different educational modules (“Open Learning Scenarios) we have created for the project. This service is free of cost and subsidized by Erasmus+.
- Teachers select (an) educational module(s) available in Dutch and English and adapt it to the context and needs of the class and school community.
- Students are challenged to implement the educational module through theoretical and practical exercises with the involvement of the school and local community.
