1. COMENIUS
FOOD
THE TEENAGERS BETWEEN CULINARY
TRADITION AND FAST FOOD
2012-2014

2. THE PROJECT
• The project aims to involve teenagers in a
debate about intercultural food style among
young generation and its consequences in their
cultural identity.
• They will explore areas related to nutrition,
food technologies, traditional and ecological
agriculture
• They will also compare cultures and traditions
by extending the dining experience among
partner countries.

3. •They will oppose two concepts, (food type) fast food
and culinary tradition, understand the break that happens
in the individual mind by assimilating artificial culture
that tends to become universal food code.
•They can assist to the preparation of a traditional menu
•They will taste the products and find recipes
•They will study ingredients, conservation of food.
These experiences will be shared within the project
visits, on the web site (Blog) and materialized in the final
products.
(European guide of healthy menus, book of traditional
recipes, brochures, etc )
