Assistance program: Lifelong Learning Programme Grundtvig
Project number: 2012-1-IT2-GRU06-37670 4

Project description:

A large number of marginalised people are found across Europe. Due to lack of education, job opportunities and to some extent language training or ICT skills, they are at risk of social exclusion. The Taste Different project sought to promote active inclusion through something as simple as food.

It is universally accepted that food and the preparation of food is a key activity for human beings; the number of articles presented daily in the media, of published cook books and of the amount of money spend on our daily bread all point to this. Furthermore food has an ability to bring people together, to make us talk and share our cultural background and stories. To share a meal means more than simply eating together.

Taste Different sought to make use of this diversity through food in an effort to create a venue for marginalised adults living in Turkey, Poland and Denmark. A venue where marginalised men and women could met and through informal activities share cultural backgrounds, prepare and share dishes and in turn work towards a common recognition of the value found in diversity, together with developing language and ICT skills.

  • Develop appropriate resources / standard protocols to meet the growing demand for a flexible approach to learning by a growing number of learners who need to fit working life into the framework of learning new skills;
  • Involve students from each partner organisation to meet the first two aims of the project and to develop their own employability skills – commitment, self-confidence, team working, use of own initiative – all in demand by employers across Europe.

The results of the project
PThe project was disseminated through the project blog and facebook; in addition, each country followed the Project Dissemination Action Plan to maximise national awareness of the project (copies of all supporting documentation in Report Annexes).

Project description:

The main objective of the project was to provide training courses and support for disadvantaged groups, which will help in maintaining or obtaining employment.

Created a platform that contains a collection of good practices, examples and tips on how to support people from exclusion – social and vocational – groups (the disabled, immigrants, people over 50 years of age, ethnic and religious minorities, people with low education, single parents, immigrants and former prisoners). The main objective of the project was to provide training courses and support for disadvantaged groups, which will help in maintaining or obtaining employment.

Implementation of the project is due to a large variation in the approach to the problem in EU countries. The project is therefore also to provide a place to discuss the shape of support for people at risk of exclusion, to facilitate understanding of the diversity of cultural, social and economic development in Europe and its effects on employment and activities and enable it to support the exchange of knowledge and good practices.

The platform is used against the rights of European countries in the prevention of unemployment, the establishment of the partnership rules for determining the effectiveness of programs to prevent unemployment, to discuss and gather (by the institutions participating in the project) tools and training for people at risk of exclusion, the publication of these reports and includes a discussion forum for cooperation in the field of vocational training in the European Union.
