“The revival of the historical food of Europe and benefits for healthy diet of population”: Meeting at FORAVE


Between 4th and 9th March, the Italian, Czech, Swedish and Portuguese teams met at our school to carry out the planned activities concerning the Comenius Project “The revival of the historical food of Europe and benefits for healthy diet of population”.

During this European meeting there were ice-breaking activities which allowed the students to get to know each other and to make new friends; students´ presentations about the schools, countries and the project´s theme; field trips to food processing companies like Caves Ferreira (Porto Wine)  and Imperial (chocolate factory) and some time to visit the cities of Porto and Viana do Castelo. However, the main activity was a practical workshop, which took place at  ESEIG - Escola Superior de Estudos Industriais e de Gestão, in Vila do Conde,  during which students and teachers had the opportunity to cook and taste some traditional Portuguese recipes like Caldo Verde, Rojões à moda do Minho and Papos de Anjo.
