In high school Ralleio GEL Thiléon Peiraia, students learned about the Mediterranean diet and what it means for intangible cultural heritage. The project was carried out across several subjects: English, Biology and Economics, and allowed students to learn from their families and the community how traditional cooking methods and knowledge have been passed down from generation to generation. Additionally, students were able to visit a farm run by a cooperative social enterprise, where students and teachers became farmers for a day.
“These inspiring projects highlight how art, culture and heritage are invaluable to sustainable development. These are truly essential learning lessons for students of all ages,” says Mark Manns, UNESCO Education for Sustainable Development Program Specialist.
