Gastronomy Life and Arts - European Union (GALA.EU)


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.
