Our
project 'Gastronomy Life and Arts - European Union (GALA.EU)' will study how
the influence of gastronomy has transcended to other arts. This has been
reflected in the artistic expressions of
painting, literature and film that have been witness of the life, customs,
traditions and spectacular changes of our European society for centuries.
Through
gastronomy, our students will discover, learn and respect the rich common
European heritage, analysing the cultural, social, artistic and economic developments
of Europe and its citizens. The project will also raise awareness of the
importance of following a rich, healthy and balanced diet.
We
believe that our project will be the connection platform with Europe and its
young people and will foster the sense of belonging to a same community. It
will develop the knowledge and ownership of the European cultural heritage,
through the cuisine, and the respect for the European identity, its plurality
and its linguistic richness.
Working
with our European partners gives us access to their culture and knowledge.
Teachers and students can discover that different languages or cultures are
not insurmountable barriers
but only small obstacles we have to overcome and this will stimulate us
to improve our linguistic and strategic competences.
