CESIE is implementing EAT SMART project (Youth in Action Programme – Action 3.2) which aims at spreading a sustainable way of approaching life, promoting youth creativity, intercultural dialogue through pleasant approaches and link the work of organizations with the world of enterprises and sustainability.
Through using food as a tool to exchange culinary traditions, notions of healthy eating and different concepts of sustainable development and consumption, it will stimulate intercultural dialogue of young people among the four countries. In addition, new dished mixed of Asian and Mediterranean flavors will be created during the implementation, which will show the youth’s creativity and their senses of healthy life.
