Webinar 'Breaking Bread, Building Futures: Collaborative Learning for Climate Change', 16 October

We've been cooking up ideas… Now it's time to break bread! 🍞

At The Food Odyssey, we've been on quite a journey. Through game-based learning, co-creation with teachers, and open educational resources, we're contributing to the transformation of agri-food education, empowering teachers and students to understand and act on the connection between food systems and climate change.

We're proud of what we've created. And we want it to reach further!

Real systems change happens when projects connect, when we learn from each other's approaches, and when collaboration multiplies our collective impact.

That's why, this hashtag#WorldFoodDay, we're hosting a virtual gathering to bring together some of Europe's most inspiring food systems and innovative learning initiatives. And you can join us!

Why are we doing this?

Because educators, researchers, innovators, and communities across Europe are already doing incredible work. By creating space to share lessons learned, exchange tools, and explore synergies, we can amplify our collective impact.

Whether you're working in education, research, policy, or on the ground in communities, this conversation is for you. 🌱

Let's learn from each other, connect the dots, and explore how education and innovation can empower communities to build fairer, greener, more resilient food systems. 

Let’s build better futures together!
