Seeds of the future: food and environmental education of young people

The seeds of the future

In occasione della sua 11° edizione il Festival Cerealia intende proporre alle scuole di ogni ordine e grado (primarie e secondarie di secondo grado), di sviluppare un elaborato creativo sul tema guida del festival “Seeds of the future: food and environmental education of young people”. Lo scopo è quello di stimolare buone pratiche di cittadinanza attiva rispetto alla cultura e cura sostenibile del cibo e dell’ambiente per affrontare le sfide del futuro. In particolare si vuole far riflettere i giovani e giovanissimi su come il sistema dei media (social compresi) e delle imprese (produzione-trasformazione-distribuzione) affronta i temi ambientali e alimentari e le modalità di comunicazione attivate da questi due sistemi rispetto ai contenuti sensibili (educazione/cibo/ambiente), stimolando così una analisi critica degli studenti.  Gli elaborati sviluppati da singoli studenti o dalla classe in forma collettiva, costituiranno uno strumento utile per il dialogo e la riflessione avviata dal 2018 dall’ODA (The Observatory on Dialogue in the Agri-food sector) e contribuiranno ad attivare azioni concrete rivolte a tutti i diversi portatori d’interesse.  Si intende affiancare, al sistema di analisi proposto gli strumenti messi a disposizione dall’Agenda 2030 delle Nazioni Unite (17 SDGs), dall’Unione Europea e dai diversi Ministeri Italiani che sono coinvolti trasversalmente da questi temi (Istruzione, Salute, Ambiente, Agricoltura), in un progetto che metta in rete: Festival Cerealia 2021, media, scuole, ODA.
