Culture is a part of each one, and each one of us is part of European Union, therefore culture belongs to all.
"Coimbrão Gourmet - encontros intergeracionais" is a national youth initiative, which main goal is social inclusion and the preservation of the cultural patrimony Coimbrão.
The starting point of this project will be a cultural aspect, specifically the gastronomy of Coimbrão, and from this cultural expression we will approach some other themes as social inclusion, youth active participation, cultural diversity, healthy food lifestyles e consequently health.
The project "Coimbrão Gourmet - encontros intergeracionais" intends to have the active participation of this group but also wishes for the participation of local community. Therefore we have developed a set of activities to involve this community, such as screening blood pressure, a small conference about the importance of healthy lifestyles, cooking workshops for children, creating a blog and also the creation of an agenda with local recipes, result of the research done during this project.
We hope that in this way it will be possible to disseminate the culture of Coimbrão, using as starting point local gastronomy, to promote healthy food habits, to promote the active participation of local community and providing young people information about the potentialities of the Youth in Action programme.
The objectives of the project "Coimbrão Gourmet - encontros intergeracionais" are:
1. To allow these young people to gain some working experience, develop their personnal skills and competences, and to work as a team;
2. Promote the concept of cultural diversity, starting locally moving towards global concept;
3. Create the basis for an active participation in civil society;
4. Promote healthy food life style by using local culture and nutritional techniques;
5. Promote social inclusion;
6. Promote the active participation of local community;
7. Promote possibilities given within Youth in Action Programme.
This project is co-financed by the Youth in Action Programme, trough Action 1.2- Youth Initiatives and is developed by a group of young people aged between 17 an 30 years old.
