Project Summary

This project entitled “Rotten Shark and Aoili : sharing culinary culture to erase differances” is a project that will unite students from the South of France and the North of Iceland.
After years of cooperating on student work placements in individual mobility programs, the two schools have decided to further their partnership through a student exchange.

Culinary food heritage will be used as a means to :
– overcome prejudices and apprehensions regarding different cultures.
– build self-confidence and develop new social and culinary skills
– gain a better understanding of the need for sustainable food production and processing
– motivate students through a project based work, thus reaching out to students who do not enjoy being at school
– improve the communication skills of the students

The use of eTwinning will enable students to exchange online throughout the project and each student will complete a Student Project Booklet that enables them to feel part of the project and record their evolution during the project.
A Cookery book based on the culinary exchanges will be created by the students and published.

By actively engaging together in this project the schools hope that it will be the beginning of other such collaborations.

The project will be dessimated within the schools and also within the local communities thus enabling others to benefit from the discovery of a new culture and widen their horizons.
