"""We are what we eat"" is a project about food and nutrition. Food is first of all health for humanity, but it is enviroment, culture, philosophy, economical and political issue too. Through food students can learn to take care about theirselves and the others and can acquire and develop lots of basic skills and key competences (I priority). Through food students can valorize social and educational European cultural heritage and give a contribute for economic growth and social cohesion (II priority). The project will involve 10 to 15 year-old students, in a total of about 300 students. Teachers from every school – around 150 – will be participants in the project. The schools involved in the project are located in economical and social disadvantaged areas. There are families with cultural, economical, educational and social problems. We try to involve in our project students with these problematic situations so that they could live different experiences. We try to encourage them offering chances for development. We believe this project could help them to be engaged in their own process of development. Working together enjoying, the project will tack early school leaving and disadvantage too (III priority).The project involved five different countries: Poland, Portugal, Romania, Turkey and Italy which is the coordinator.
