MEDiATE

Involving participants from different EU countries MEDiATE intends to increase EU citizenship awareness through the principles of the Mediterranean Diet.

MEDiATE aims to foster the intercultural dialogue and to enhance the awareness of the importance of food, related to co-operation, intercultural dialogue, mutual respect, stimulating the exchange of views between peers about European values trough methods and techniques of non formal education.
The exchange will involve young people coming from different EU countries, each one with its own history of European integration within communitarian policies but with one common factor: their food habits. These can show common features at long distances and can make people feel at home also far away from their home countries, which is probably one of the reasons migrants never feel at home. If the young participants are able to spread their tradition to other European Countries they will make one step towards the development and increase of European awareness on EU fundamental values, and furthermore they will help migrants coming from the Mediterranean basin feel more at home.
All the activities organized during the exchange will be finalized to the development of menues and receipts originated from the Mediterranean Diet.
In its role of hosting country, Roccagloriosa Municipality will have the possibility to endorse local culture and traditions through foreseen outdoor visits.
