The EATWISE Training Manual brings together a set of best practices and engaging, previously tested workshops for youth workers working with migrants who wish to advance intercultural understanding, social inclusion, and sustainable food systems: it is based on non-formal education, placing participants at the center of the learning process.
This practical manual explores topics such as sustainability, cultural identity, interculturality, and food waste reduction. It was tried and trusted in a real-world, intercultural context during the EATWISE joint training course in Bucharest (April 2025), with 30 youth workers selected from partners from Italy, Portugal, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Türkiye, and Romania, becoming a tool to cultivate intercultural sustainability.
It is one of the results of a wider project, EATWISE, which aims to create new bridges across communities, foster a deeper appreciation for diversity, and encourage positive action toward a more sustainable future by exploring the environmental impact of our culinary choices within an intercultural settings.
