Common activities to be done or showed at the meetings:


First, the involved teachers from Germany, Romania, Netherlands will form and organize
their working groups and then they will facilitate the communication between their
students, by emails and chats (individually, during the whole project), videoconferences
(moderated by teachers, once at three months) and by creating together a common forum
for this activity.
Students and teachers will decide together about the main topics and set the
responsibilities (i.e. procuring the feedstock, selecting them, choosing the proper utensils
and food pots, preparing the food, cooking, using the suitable cooking tools and domestic
(electronic) appliances, cleaning and washing dishes)

even involving their parents and grandparents, as link between the formal and the informal

Students will organise events with cooking a set meal or preparing a buffet together, in
common meetings, and then providing the foodstuffs (i.e. a Delivering life event, a charity
event as a sailing trade, an anniversary event, a school event, a national celebration as a
National Day, a holy day as Nativity or Resurrection)
Students will enterprise little researches about their food, at school (is it healthy or not?)
Students will organize public events in order to make people aware about a healthy
feeding; Romanian students and teachers will collaborate with a local NGO, “Youth 4
All” (i.e. street surveys, organizing a Photo Voice), in order to link the formal education
with the non-formal education. Then, they will record this activity and they will share it to
their mates and colleagues, via closed group. In the next transnational meeting, Romanian
students will teach their foreign mates (from Germany, Netherlands and United Kingdom)
this method of non-formal education (“Photo Voice”) and they will organize together this
activity during the mobility, in the host community.
In project meetings, students will present their products in a common exhibition in order to
present / discover / taste the national flavours and the specific of traditional food pots

translated in foreign languages, the most studied in Europe (English, French, Spanish,
German) in order to include them in an European e-Cookbook and afterward to be used in
Foreign languages classes.
At the end of the project, teachers and students will realize together the final products:
posters, flyers, mini-brochures, PowerPoint / Prezi presentation about traditional dished
