Participants: 4 youngsters (18-25 year old) plus one Leader (18-30 years old) - 20 participants in total
Countries: Turkey, Spain, Italy and Greece
Lodging: You will be hosted in a terrace apartment in Villa Bruno (San
Giorgio a Cremano), a very beautiful place for living with bunk beds in
shared rooms, a kitchen and hot showers. All facilities are provided

Summary of the Project: The “Mediterranean Diet” project is a youth
exchange (action 1.1) involving 20 people coming from 4 countries:
Italy, Greece, Spain and Turkey. The exchange will take place in San
Giorgio a Cremano (near Naples) from May 04th to May 11th (8 days). The
main topic of the exchange will be intercultural learning through food
and eating habits, reflecting upon the connection between the way you
eat and the way you feel. Participants will identify the differences and
the similarities among traditional food cultures of four Mediterranean
countries (Spain, Italy, Greece and Turkey).
The activities will involve sharing one’s own food cultures with the
others, getting to know the similarities and the differences of every
country’s culture: through workshops and non-formal education activities
the participants will discover more about the other countries, in order
to eliminate the barriers and the prejudices among them. The
participants will also be involved in inter-generational activities,
meeting the elderly people of San Giorgio a Cremano and sharing
traditional food cultures of their own grandparents. The food will be
the instrument for this exchange of experiences.
We also aim at involving the participants in the discovery of our local
products, taking them on tours in the vicinity. Our idea is to
rediscover the wholesome traditions, focusing on the use of local
products also from an ecological point of view. The choice of these
products has a close relation with the carbon's emissions: in fact, the
energetic resources consumed are lower than the one used for the
products that come from faraway places. We maintain that the use of
local products, indeed, might be convenient due to the reduced
consumption of energetic resources that it generates.
Furthermore, participants will create a toolkit/book about the
Mediterranean Diet, with recipes written by all participants involved in
the project, which will be uploaded on a web platform where the
participants will be free to share contents also after the exchange,
thus ensuring a follow-up of the experience.
