Photography workshop participants are invited, through hands-on sessions with professional photographers, to create works based on  the theme of the Mediterranean Diet. The workshops’ central theme is “Food Heroes” and subjects can include people working in markets, home and restaurant cooking, agricultural activities, farm to fork initiatives, migrant communities etc. 

The workshops aim to encourage young people to discover the values of the Mediterranean Diet, to make a connection between art and food and to communicate the ideas of cultural heritage, health and sustainability.

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.
