The Food Odyssey Project is an innovative initiative funded by the Erasmus+ Programme and created by a diverse consortium of partners, including NGOs, Foundations, private sector organisations, and VET Schools from 4 different countries (Slovenia, Italy, Serbia and Spain).
The project's primary goal is to innovate European agri-food vocational education by empowering teachers with cutting-edge tools. This includes the co-creation of an online escape room designed to educate students about the vital connection between food systems and climate change.
The project adopts a "train the trainers" approach, with agri-VET teachers taking on the role of mentors, guiding their students on a transformative learning journey. Through gamification and innovative pedagogical techniques, students become the heroes of their own narratives, embarking on a journey of self-discovery, food literacy education, and awareness raising.
Food Odyssey is a significant step toward addressing the pressing challenges of climate change and sustainable food systems, offering a dynamic and engaging platform for education.
