Kit didattico: Un pasto quotidiano nell’antica Grecia

Imag1

Il kit didattico di Foodprint mira a illustrare il ruolo del cibo nella storia e nella nostra vita quotidiana, l’importanza storica del Mediterraneo come area di scambi culturali fra Oriente e Occidente e i motivi che rendono un modello alimentare a base vegetale praticato fin dall’antichità il più salutare per il nostro corpo e per il nostro pianeta.

Photographing my Mediterranean ‘Food Hero’

Imag1

Foodprint in collaboration with the National Museum of Contemporary Art Athens (ΕΜΣΤ), WWF Greece and the Centre of Environmental Education in Ierapetra-Neapolis, invites educators and their students (12-18 years old) to submit portraits related to Mediterranean Diet. The photos will be presented at ΕΜΣΤ in Athens, in October 2023. From grandmothers, farmers and cooks to their local grocer, we want to see images of people who directly affect our relationship with food and our nutritional footprint.

Learning Objectives:

* Teach participants what the Mediterranean Diet is and its relationship with health and sustainability and identify which individuals and dietary choices enable participants to eat the ‘Mediterranean’ way.

* Familiarize students with basic photographic techniques for creating a portrait and a visual narrative.

The open call is accompanied with the following educational materials:

* A presentation about the relationship between food and the environment, created by WWF Greece as part of the #Eat4Change campaign, for use in the classroom. The presentation is accompanied by a teacher’s guide.

* A guide for students on how to photograph  a portrait.

*  A guardian permission form for participation in the open call.

An Εducation Dietary Journey in Ancient Cyprus

A digital educational programme addressed to children aged 10-12, the programme explores aspects associated with nutrition in Cyprus in antiquity as an inextricable part of the Mediterranean cultural heritage. Raw materials incorporated into dietary habits, food processing, utility vessels for storing, consuming, serving and carrying food, as well as banquets and daily meals, are explored through interactive storytelling which serves as an invitation to a journey across time.
The initiative has been designed in such way as to provide a multisensory experience and encourage children to engage with the past, the present and the future of their nutrition and dietary habits in the broader context of cultural, social and environmental parameters.
The interdisciplinary design of the programme opens it up to interconnections with the school curriculum and to a variety of subjects, for instance History, Art Education, Health Education, Language and Culture, Environmental Education and Education for Sustainability.
Created by the Bank of Cyprus Cultural Foundation and the Cyprus Food and Nutrition Museum in association with Foodprint.
