EFFECT
ERASMUS FOR FOOD EDUCATION TO CHILDREN AND TRAINERS

Childhood obesity and overweight are inevitable contemporary problems. The evolution of children’s diets over the last decades, coupled with an ever-lower energy expenditure, especially during the COVID-19 period, forces us to question the development and/or reinforcement of food education for children. In southern European countries this issue has a significant impact on the health and well-being of children. In this context, the EFFECT project aims to develop food education for primary school children in France, Greece and the USA.

The uniqueness of the project lies in the fact that the EFFECT project will develop training content for the children’s trainers, considering that only the training of the children’s ecosystem will allow the establishment of sustainable habits.

United for those in Needs: Learn, Open, Care, Keep The Museum Mediator as Diversity Integrator (UNLOCK)

Erasmus+ KA2 Project

Which links exist between civic education and a museum? Which ones between cultural education and politics? How can we arouse people’s interest in going to the museum? From people who would rather not get the idea to do so? What should museums do to make visitors see them as their own space?

EKEDISY is a partner organisation with eight educational institutions and museums in six European countries. Under the title United for those in Needs: Learn, Open, Care, Keep – the Museum Mediator as Diversity Integrator, a learning platform is being developed. It is aimed at adult educators and the people with lesser opportunities . The aim is to UNLOCK the potential of museum mediators to better involve such people in the work of museums.

HEROES focuses the pedagogical issues linked to the relevance of Cultural Heritage Education, combining some of the main concepts included in the Faro Convention (27.X.2005) with the priorities established by Erasmus+ about the social and educational value of EU cultural heritage as contribution to social cohesion, economic growth and job creation.

It aims to improve and strengthen the synergies between Educational System and Cultural Heritage Education.

General project objectives and goals

To create an innovative participatory approach to cultural heritage, shared at eu level, that encourages intercultural dialogue among teachers and pupils and fosters students’ critical thinking, self-empowerment and civil awareness.

To develop the heroes model for cultural heritage education, adding to the traditional school teaching a fresher and more interactive approach based on peer relationships, improving the interactions among formal and non-formal education in a life wide learning perspective.

Specific project objectives

Promote interactions among cultural educators of museums and school staff, fostering their mutual exchange and the permeability between different education and training pathways;

Encourage teaching staff to positively combine formal and non-formal learning for cultural heritage education, fostering learners’ motivation and gaining more effective outcomes;

Make adolescents protagonist of their knowledge path and -more widely- of their own growth, enabling their learning success;

Limit the possible arising ESL dynamics especially among those students with complex background, engaging them with Cultural Heritage Education as value and personal way of emancipation.

Add to the concepts of youth participation and wide access to the common European cultural heritage also the concept of ACCESSIBILITY of this heritage.

All Model’s educative practices will include activities which pay attention also to special needs, underlining the innate value of inclusivity of these specific contents for society.
