FOOD RESCUE project aims at fostering education as an essential element of the global response to climate change. Particularly, the project aims at helping young learners understand and address the impact of global warming, increase “climate literacy”, and encourage change in their attitudes and behavior. The project will achieve this goal by developing an innovative ‘applied learning’ educational package based on food waste as a conceptual context for learning by combining a variety of tools such as maker’s education and youth participation and activism.
● To develop an innovative curriculum for primary education students with the aim to increase their awareness about food waste and enable them to develop transversal and green related skills
● To develop a training program for educators to enable them to apply the FOOD RESCUE curriculum while simultaneously further advancing their professional development in maker education and youth activism pedagogies.
● To promote a culture of social mindfulness and responsibility regarding food waste. The earlier students are educated about environmental issues, the more sustainable their behaviors will become
