We are delighted for you to participate in this new online course for students who want a more sustainable future for all. "Food for thought: too good to waste?" will enable you to reflect on everyday decisions, unconscious habits, and behaviours from social, environmental, and economic angles.

Your experience will be social, cutting-edge, and digital to enable you to easily incorporate course activities into your day-to-day schedule. Resources, such as thought-provoking articles and videos, will promote networking with colleagues around Europe. And you will participate in virtual facilitated sessions via this platform (Howspace). All these elements are designed to provide you each week with immediate application and real, practical results.

For the next four weeks we will try to find answers to four questions listed above. We will search for data in reliable sources, analyse them, discuss different consumer choices, and their costs and benefits for individuals, environment, society, and economy. We are going to examine our own everyday consumer choices and try to make our lifestyle more sustainable. We will take a test to check what our food-related individual carbon footprint is. And finally, we will create a food rescue project. It will be an eye-opening and exciting journey!

By participating in this course, you will gain a thorough understanding of the complex interconnections between food loss and waste, food production, agriculture, environment, and well-being of societies.

In the online course "Food for thought: too good to waste?", you will build essential critical skills and:

• Develop systemic thinking

• Strengthen interpersonal skills

• Develop and implement strategic collective action

We thank you in advance for your active participation in this course. We look forward to sharing this experience with you!
