COMENIUS FOOD – First Period (italian meeting)

By Paola Amadio Coordinator Comenius Project

THE PROJECT

• The project aims to involve teenagers in a debate about intercultural food style among young generation and its consequences in their cultural identity.

• They will explore areas related to nutrition, food technologies, traditional and ecological agriculture

• They will also compare cultures and traditions by extending the dining experience among partner countries.

•They will oppose two concepts, (food type) fast food and culinary tradition, understand the break that happens in the individual mind by assimilating artificial culture that tends to become universal food code.•They can assist to the preparation of a traditional menu •They will taste the products and find recipes•They will study ingredients, conservation of food.These experiences will be shared within the project visits, on the web site (Blog) and materialized in the final products. (European guide of healthy menus, book of traditional recipes, brochures, etc )

Some topics about food

The food: what does it mean?

The food is a source of nourishment but it also means:

Tradition. It is in typical traditional dishes that we often keep an important part of the culture of a people and ancient knowledge and values.Friendship. The offering of food shows friendship, in any part of the world.Meeting Place. For a family the time of lunch, dinner is often an opportunity to meet, talk…Holiday. You cannot think of occasions of celebration, in all times and places, without a rich buffet

But everyone can find a lot of other means

At the beginning

The students have understood how much it is important for the child to taste solid food

It is a natural step of growing

Students have understood that in the family and at school begins NUTRITION EDUCATION
