Thousand of European teachers are coming to Milan for the first international forum of the EAThink2015 project. In the three days forum they’ll have a chance to visit EXPO 2015, the Food cloud exhibition and to participate in the activities of the media center EAThink2015, to exchange ideas and methods of education for global citizenship and for food sovereignty and visit the city of Milan accompanied by young Italian students.
The Eathink2015 Teacher’s International Exchange Workshop will be held on 16th-18th October 2015 at Cascina Triulza, the Civil Society Pavilion of Expo Milan 2015.
Teacher’s delegations from the 14 countries involved in the project will work together to define priorities in addressing global food issues at school.
Teachers will discuss common food related topics and educational methodologies: with the support of DEAR experts and project staff, the workshop will contribute to define common values and principles in order to develop a shared approach and a joint agenda for Global Education.
Starting with the World Food Day celebrations on October 16th in Expo Milan 2015 and through the participation in many parallel events organized by Fondazione ACRA, the meeting will give the teachers an opportunity to share in an informal way both challenges and best practices for Global Education throughout Europe and West Africa.
