The Food Includes mission is to foster greater inclusion and upskilling pathways in adult education by creating new flexible learning opportunities based around food. Our goal is to develop food-based learning initiatives to help reach and engage traditionally excluded learners and disadvantaged groups. Heads of adult education will have access to new outreach and upskilling strategies for hard-to-reach groups. Adult educators will be better equipped to achieve recruitment goals and learning outcomes. Vulnerable groups will acquire new skills, enhance social integration and employment prospects through the projects main results:
Food Includes Starter Kit: a set of educational resources that introduces the ‘Food approach’, an educational methodology that fosters inclusion through gastronomy, using food as a driver for cultural understanding and dialogue facilitation.
Food Includes OERS. Composed of 7 forward-thinking modules, supporting inclusive and flexible learning for adults through food education.
