Training Course: We are what we eat

Training Course

24-28 May 2025 | Gračišče, Sunny hill, Slovenia

Join us for a 5-day training in the beautiful region of Istria, where we’ll explore how our food choices affect our health, the environment, and society. Training is tailored for youth leaders and mentors- active in their environments.

Food is so much more than just fuel for the body!
Join us for a 5-day training in the beautiful region of Istria, where we’ll explore how our food choices affect our health, the environment, and society. Through experiential methods, we’ll deepen our connection with food – by tasting it, feeling it, and reflecting on its meaning.

You’ll also gain insights from an expert contribution on how nutrition impacts the body, and we’ll dive into how our food choices shape the planet. 

In our free time, we’ll explore the natural beauty of the Istrian hills, connect through music-making, and enjoy a vibrant community of young people who care about the future! 

But that’s not all – after the training, participants will receive mentorship to disseminate the knowledge and organize awareness-raising actions with young people in their local communities. Together, we’ll plant the seeds of change far and wide. 

Together, we’ll co-create a fairer food system – through action, knowledge, and connection!
