The project " Let ́s eat culture" is a multicultural, inclusive Erasmus+ project (K229) that took place in 2020-2022. The project was a collaboration between 3 secondary schools located in rural areas in Iceland, Italy, and Spain. The areas have various things in common such as some being volcanic, some coastal areas or in the countryside, being wine producers, growing cattle, sheep and goats but with very different climate and living conditions that influences and conditions the gastronomic traditions. Participants are both students and teachers.,

The project dove into the different cultures of local food in a practical and active way by engaging the participants, letting them practice and learn from each other about local food, about cultivating and producing local products and about seasonal gastronomic traditions. Cooking and eating together they learned to tolerate and appreciate food from various regions, learned to talk about food and specific ingredients. Students explored through the visits why they eat what they eat and learned how climate influences our gastronomy and food related traditions, the crops and the animals we are able raise. Even more, they learned to appreciate better their own culture through the comparison.

The intention was also to focus on the 12th goal of UN which is “Responsible consumption and production” raising an overall awareness about sustainability, reduction of food waste and plastic pollution on European and local level.

In order to register the outcomes and reflections of project the participants continuously followed innovative and creative ways of using IT.
