Description
The project is aimed at increasing public awareness on the issues of international development cooperation and on the 17 Sustanaible Development Goals. In Cibo Civitas project is the result of a five-year process that has involved the Partners in the joint implementation of ECG activities and that allows to capitalize on the experiences of The recipes of dialogue and Mobilize the change, both funded by AICS, which have focused respectively on the theme of food as a tool for inclusion, dialogue between cultures, sharing and territorial animation, and on the circular economy as a vector of active citizenship for the promotion of sustainable models of production and consumption.The proposed initiative gives continuity to these experiences, focusing the new focus on the Circular Economy for Food in the first place and trying to think more broadly on the contribution that the project can make to the creation of sustainable food systems, capable of proposing models of lifestyle and reduction of environmental impact, participation, inclusion and social cohesion, especially among the youngest. The partners involved will try to respond to the needs that emerged from the needs analysis, combining their respective skills, the connections already developed in the project areas and, last but not least, enhancing the path that LVIA and Slow Food have undertaken with the Local Food Policies Network. In general, the project aims to develop and strengthen a concept of citizenship understood as belonging to the global community, contributing in a pragmatic way to individual and collective change for the creation of a more sustainable and fairer world, using food as an area of training, participation and commitment, a tool for change towards the definition of food policies in order to reduce food waste, promote the reuse, processing and regeneration of surpluses, residues and by-products of agri-food production. The challenge is to accompany young people towards a greater awareness and application of sustainable daily practices, strengthening their soft skills in terms of green skills, in sectors related to the food chain and promoting the activation and associative commitment in civic networks for the implementation of sustainable food policies. The project is developed along three axes of intervention: information and training, strengthening of green skills and participation. For the first axis, through an activation campaign in schools, training workshops, visits to virtuous local realities and the development of a board game that can be customized for different areas, LVIA and Slow Food will carry out information and training activities for 5,980 students in 65 lower and upper secondary schools on local food systems and short supply chains, conscious purchasing choices, healthy eating, reducing waste, biodiversity and the local/global dimension of food systems. 200 teachers will be trained on the same topics through a nationwide training course with credit recognition. This will lead to an increase in skills in global citizenship education and sustainable development and in the awareness of teachers and students about more sustainable food systems. Regarding the second axis, the project foresees: a mapping in each region of the realities/experiences of good practices of food waste valorisation (carried out by LVIA and Slow Food through UNISG and the members of the Network of Local Food Policies and supported by the municipalities involved, which will contribute to valorise the local experiences already underway), the training of 60 young people on topics related to the circular economy, local economy and alternative systems, ethical and inclusive business models, carried out in 8 sustainability poles identified and supported by the project. In addition, 12 territorial information/exchange events open to a further 2,800 young people will be organized.
