FOODSHIFT Pathways

Pathways to food systems transition – Cooperation partnerships in school education (2022-2025)

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.

Role of SusMetro

• We support teachers on food education by providing them with educational tools and knowledge to support them in their teaching efforts.
• We have developed theoretical and practical learning materials for students (10 – 16 years) and made a instructive video to encourage teachers and students in critical and creative thinking about our food environment and eating habits.
• 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.
• We implement MapTable technology to aid teaching tasks and activities. See below.

1. 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+.
2. 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.
3. Students are challenged to implement the educational module through theoretical and practical exercises with the involvement of the school and local community.
