What's On YOUR Plate? I Feel GREAT! Cross-cultural inter-generational learning: fostering a healthier lifestyle through creativity, literacy and video production.

The partnership is based on an identifiable need to address a Euro-wide problem of obesity in its population, particularly in children which links to early onset health problems such as heart disease and diabetes in later life. The project will seek to exchange understanding, experience and knowledge between the partner institutions and develop new ideas to improve intergenerational learning about healthy lifestyle choices. It will offer additional scope to explore, learn and educate about this complex issue through using fun and creative learning methods implemented during the project. It will set out to explore the potential of using literacy, creativity and video production in confronting this problem and their effectiveness in an adult learning environment to enrich teaching and learning practices in partner institutions while developing new teaching and learning skills. Target groups such as young parents and seniors in a socially disadvantaged context, especially those who have children/grandchildren under 18, under achievers – those with no qualifications and from low-income families, young unemployed or the geographically disadvantaged will be provided with new learning opportunities through initially a study circle learning approach – finding out about cultural food history, learning about making healthy choices, sharing recipes and then learning new skills – video production, web and print design. Activities where different generations will learn together are to be incorporated into the courses to provide a basis for sustainable development of the learning undertaken and create a model for new learning practices. The partnership will develop new ideas, methods and approaches for adult trainers. The outcomes will be a website, a recipe booklet and DVD.
