Youth Mission at a glance

Capitalising on previous assets developed by EIT-Food partners (Food Science class, Eat Health to Keep Healthy, WeValueFood, EIT Food school network, MasterChef Junior, Games of food, Annual Food Agenda, Salvacomidas, FutureKitchen, CKIC Human capital, etc.) EIT Food invited educational experts to create coherent ready-to-use resource packs with and for teachers, available in multiple European languages. The two resource packs (downloadable, easy-to-use teachers’ handbooks and online supplementary materials) are developed for younger students from 9-14 (Food Mission) and teenagers from 15-18 (Food Careers). Aditionally, we organize Career Days, to raise awareness of the significance of food in modern life, and to demonstrate their relevance to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

• 3 thematic modules including ready-to use, detailed lesson plans

• Additional resources to be used in the lesson plans (videos, quizzes and others)

• Accompanied by train the teachers’ workshops (in the piloting phase)

• A challenge-based approach supporting teachers and students to explore the local food ecosystem and its opportunities
