The first transnational meeting of ERASMUS + project: EAT WISE took place in Thessalonikis( Greece)from November 29th to December 4th. During that meeting coordinators and head teachers from the 6 schools evaluated the project so far: activities,procedures,faced up difficulties, attainment,.. . Further steps were also discussed, as well as the suitability of the tasks to achieve project objectives.( Click here for evaluation chart and meeting minutes). The visit was a great success not only because of project meeting results, but also because the Greek school surprised partners with a very good schedule that allowed all representatives to know the school and interact with students, teachers and other agents;to learn about food habits and Greek economy related to food production and of course, to dive into Greek aincient civilization, a rich culture that has influenced so much the history Europe.
Among the many activities that are taking place in the partner schools, workshops are a very useful tool for students to learn in a non- formal way. On 3rd and 4th December,ZUBIALDE school oganized some wokshops for Basque primary students ( from 6 to 11 year olds)to learn about nutrients and also about the type of food that should be included in their daily meals. They also learnt how to get the proper information from food labels so they can always buy the best option according to helthy and sustainable priorities. Economy was another target in the workshop. Students were given a certain amount of money to spend wisely in a supermarket. On 3rd December, parents also took part in a workshop with explanations about proper diet for children and wise shopping
Some other activities include researching about former eating habits and , of course, cooking and dealing with food. Students love making recipes and learning from elders.
