About
Have you ever thought about how much food we waste? While more than enough food is produced to feed the global population, almost one-third of it gets lost or wasted every year while millions of people are still unable to cover their daily needs in food.
SAVING is a European project, funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union, focused on raising awareness among young people about environmental and climate-change challenges. Responding to the urgent need for a different lifestyle and understanding the importance of non-formal education, it proposes an innovative educational programme about sustainable choices of life, consumption of safe food and reduction of food waste.
After identifying key learning needs of both youth workers and young people at risk of exclusion, an e-learning platform with Open Educational Resources (OERs) on sustainability, food security and zero food waste will be created that will cover the following important topics:
[1]. Sustainable environment, society, economy
[2]. Organic treatments and weather-based food production
[3]. Socio-professional wellbeing of youth
[4]. Food security and zero food waste
[5]. Sustainable strategy to reduce food waste
The OERs will be tested through transnational pilot training courses that will involve young people and youth workers interested in food security and reduction of food waste.
