"<< Background >>Healthy eating for smart people. Gastronomy as an element that increases resilience and integration.New Learning Methodologies for Social and Labor Inclusion serving our Vocational Training students in the gastronomy branches.We have decided to undertake this project for our students, many of whom are at risk of dropping out of basic education because they believe that a higher education will not give them the opportunity to develop and they do not see a certain future job. We want to modify this trend. Our goal is to show them that they can opt for another type of education and training. We also want the project to provide schools with a pedagogical model and educational tools to help students connect with ""real life"" applications: the European reality, multiculturalism, integration, the job's world, companies in the sector, cooperation networks, ICTs.The 2020 Education and Training Strategy sets as an objective the need to improve the quality and efficiency of education and training, in particular to reach the benchmark: many students according to Pisa reports and diagnostic tests have an insufficient level of reading , maths and science. In addition, the project will also address the need to improve knowledge of and about science as a precondition for preparing the European population to be actively engaged and responsible, creative and innovative citizens, able to work collaboratively and fully aware and versed in the complex challenges facing society (Science Education for Responsible Citizenship, EC, 2015). It is a project created by six partners very involved in the social and labor integration of young people. This project is an opportunity to discover and experience other ways of life with the family, students, associations and educational workers; They are also part of our society and therefore have the right to a successful working life. It aims to strengthen the capacity of secondary schools to develop competencies in subjects such as languages, technology, sustainability, ecology, inclusion, multiculturalism through innovative and interactive pedagogical methods and approaches. The inclusion and integration of our students in the classroom is a matter of concern in today's society. How do we approach the learning methodology and how do they feel when they come to our classrooms, what can we offer them to prevent them from dropping out of high school classes? What can we do to improve their working conditions or their options for decent work? It is also important to know what their motivations, concerns, goals, projects and dreams are, so that we can begin to make them come true in the classroom, their new microcosm. Our intention is to create a participatory and cooperative project between teachers, students, associations and local entities to address the situation, based on transversal skills and the methodology that best suits them.We believe that the future of education is linked to inclusion and therefore that the learning process must be changed, taking into account multiculturalism and plurality, regardless of religion, culture, ideology, race, etc. ., because the most important is to learn to live together and provide an education for all, increase the level of awareness of the school community and other stakeholders towards young vocational students and ensure that these students become more active in the educational process through activities that promote social and labor inclusion.<< Objectives >>The main goal is to reduce the gap between professional training and the needs of gastronomic companies. This produces demotivation and the consequent school dropout, which is a cross-cutting phenomenon throughout Europe. To achieve this we have to change the mind, we have to motivate students and give them development tools appropriate to the current times. For this we have to improve teaching and bring it closer to the company and the new reality. It will be implemented with collaborative work with business associations, local entities and volunteers such as chefs of recognized prestige and different professionals from various areas related to the field of New technologies and training, Education, Languages, Sciences, Arts, Sports, Cooking with the use of ICTs to motivate students in the Teaching-Learning process.It is essential to elaborate the objective of the 2020 Education and Training Strategy in relation to the need to improve the quality and efficiency of education and training, in particular to achieve the benchmark: New learning methodologies for socio-labor inclusion. that there is still a need to apply a holistic approach that focuses on new methodologies, new flexible pedagogies and addressing the relationships between students and teachers, between students and students as well as the participation of parents and also other stakeholders: the local community , the business sector, public entities, political leaders in the different phases of education. It is necessary to adopt both new technologies and new pedagogies that are more in line with current changes at a social, cultural and economic level, in addition, it will improve the professional development of teachers and the quality of teaching at all levels, learning environments collaborative, inquiry-based learning, etc.Local networks will be created, made up of business associations, educational institutions, teachers, volunteers, students and local entities, and these networks will become a transnational network whose synergies allow the project's objectives to be achieved.Objectives regarding students:• Understand the current EU• Reduce school dropouts• Implement our objectives through business associations• Promote motivation and change, improve personal development, learn at school and adapt to a new society.• Increase their level of English, as well as other languages ​​with which students may be familiar.• Ensure that students are more proactive in the educational process through transversal skills• Work with new ICT, applications, brochures, PPTS, double space and high quality products: Scratch, programs to make videos and websites.The project aims to strengthen the capacity of secondary schools to develop competencies in subjects such as languages, science, technology, ecology, sustainability, entrepreneurship ... through innovative and interactive pedagogical methods and approaches:-Collaborate in the same pedagogical model.-Create a technological hub common to all participants.- Present in a blog all the participants their experiences.-Create on-board diaries.-Inform all EU countries of the lack of innovative methodologies to allow inclusion.-Learn new teaching methodologies to motivate our students.- Promote new technologies and their use in teaching to undertake activities that are inclusive for all.-Cooperate with various associations and organizations.-Increase responsibility, awareness, social sensitivity, tolerance and empathy for all people.-Promote mobility between students and internships in partner countries.-Eliminate stereotypes.<< Implementation >>From the outset, partners will define concrete methodological approaches and strategies to identify the most important competencies that teachers need to effectively teach subjects in secondary schools, also through innovative pedagogies and technologies. Local networks will be created in coordination with the business world, public institutions, volunteers, educational centers and students. Preliminary studies will be carried out on the socio-labor situation of VET teaching in the member countries of the partnership, as well as project impact indicators. The consortium will design and launch the project's technology HUB. Next, partners will develop the pedagogical model as well as various inquiry learning tools. All these contents, together with the learning program, will be integrated into the environment of the HUB. Students between 14 and 19 years old will participate in this project, as well as groups of teachers from each school. The work methodology will include small ""heterogeneous interactive groups."" Studies will be carried out during the execution of the project that will help reduce the deviations of the HUB, and finally, final studies will be made on the results of the project. All this material, in addition to the pedagogical that will be included in the HUB, will be translated into the different languages ​​of the partner countries in addition to English, which will be the vehicular language of the project. The centers will recruit student volunteers, who will be in charge of assisting and supporting members who participate in local activities during their stay here. The activities are designed to focus on self-confidence and the acquisition of skills that allow them to more easily access the job market and escape possible failure. In the different activities and workshops, students must collect data on the culture of their countries: Environment, Traditions, cuisine, companies .. In all these activities we will implement a methodology based on projects and on ""learning by doing"" because in each activity the students They must work collaboratively and integrate content from different subjects to create different end products. A general promotional program and activities will be organized for the project. The whole project consists of getting in touch, learning new skills, sharing experiences and appreciating other realities in Europe.Apart from online activities and networking, face-to-face activities will be very important. Displacements in multiplier events, administrative meetings and training activities. Face-to-face contact with partners from other countries will give a plus to the project, especially after almost 2 years of confinement. The face-to-face activities will be essential for the integration and motivation of the technical staff, local companies, teachers and local entities who will see that their students, their products and their culture and traditions are going to have a European impact.We believe that these activities will have an impact on all participants, on society, and on the implementation of these results to increase the number of students in the high-level school. This project is a good opportunity to show students, parents, teachers, organizations ... the importance of methodology in them so that they are motivated and do not abandon education. To conclude, we want them to receive high-quality education and achieve true inclusion in every way: Without discrimination based on religion, race, sex ... for a better future.""Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world"", by Nelson Mandela.""Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself"" by the philosopher Jhon Dewey.""Education helps the person to learn to be what he is capable of being"", by Hesiod.<< Results >>According to the UN, education is a right for all women and men, as it provides us with ""the critical skills and knowledge necessary to become empowered citizens, capable of adapting to change and contributing to society."" Education is also protected in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and recognized as one of the five basic cultural rights.It is clear that education and development are two concepts that go hand in hand. We all have the right to an education. The most extensive formulation of the Right to education is found in the United Nations International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, which recognizes “that education must enable all people to participate effectively in a free society, promote understanding , tolerance and friendship among all nations and among all racial, ethnic or religious groups, and to promote the activities of the United Nations for the maintenance of peace. ” In this way, States must guarantee education to their citizens through resources, programs that are adapted to their culture, and ensure that no group is prohibited from studying.Education is development and integration, that is what we intend with our project and for this we are going to create a series of local networks formed by the engines of today's society, that is, public institutions, business organizations, educational institutions, volunteers .. and of course ... young students. These local networks will be grouped into a network with a transnational dimension, which will give the project a European dimension, with synergies between these groups and between countries that will be very positive for all.On the other hand, an online HUB will be created, filled with innovative pedagogical materials and good practices. A place where knowledge and good practices will be exchanged. A place and a project that will motivate the learning of languages, of new technologies in gastronomy, which will be a place of exchange of experiences, of networking, that will allow students to broaden their perspectives and contacts, to be able to carry out internships in a foreign country. It will allow teachers to share new and innovative methodological tools, which will increase the quality of teaching. It will allow volunteers to share and acquire knowledge and experiences. It will allow companies to adapt teaching to their needs and to have great professionals with extensive knowledge. Finally, for local entities, the project is a showcase of their places, culture and heritage, without forgetting the great social benefits that will allow them to have high-quality educational centers and citizens prepared for the new Europe.The mobilities of the project will also be very positive for all persons of interest since they will strengthen cooperation and trust between partners from very diverse countries, seminars and activities will be exchanged that will give those interested the new Europe, a plural Europe , varied, multicultural, with diversity as a strong and inclusive pointThe creation and start-up of the HUB entails carrying out studies on the socio-labor impact of the project, the socio-labor situation of our young vocational training students, the working conditions of each country, the teaching conditions, the methods will be studied and analyzed. teaching ... and a series of impact indicators will be developed.All these studies and tools that are developed in the project will be open source and free so that other citizens and institutions can consult them, and even participate in the future in the HUB and in the transnational network, since it is not intended that the project dies when the financing period is over. It must be a living project that grows and develops"
