17 Goals – Project overview

​Das Begegnungsprojekt "Melanga - We are what we eat" soll in den Jugendlichen das Bewusstsein für Nachhaltigkeit der Systeme der Nahrungsmittelproduktion stärken. Die Teilnehmenden beider Regionen werden sich praktisch sowie theoretisch mit dem Thema auseinandersetzen und durch vielseitige themenbezogene Aktionen Lösungsansätze ausarbeiten. Durch verschiedene Exkursionen, Seminare, sowie Workshops sollen die Teilnehmenden vielseitig bereichert und empowert werden, um beidseitig Multiplikatoren und Multiplikatorinnen des Wissens und der Verantwortungsübernahme in dem Bereich auszubilden. "Melanga" aims to raise a better awareness on this topic of the participants as well as the people they get in touch with during the project. The participants will use their interests and skills to establish projects to work towards a more sustainable food production and - cultivation. The exchange will motivate them to social commitment on this field in their home regions. Through the established connections and group expertise "Melanga" guarantees a long- term difference in both regions as well as a long-term partnership.)

​The project aims at bringing youths together to discuss and share ideas about food production and nutrition. In the midst of the global discussion about how to overcome hunger, malnutrition and related diseases, the United Nations SDG 2 shall be jointly discussed from their respective personal situation and point of view. This includes exchange of ideas to promote traditional local dishes as well as urban gardening in both countries. The debate will affect as well environmental safety and social justice in order to produce and enjoy healthy food.
