From October 16 to 23, 2023, a group of young participants had the opportunity to join the Erasmus+ youth exchange titled “If your food could talk” in Portugal.

A Universal Theme: Food as a Cultural Bridge

The project focused on the role of food as a powerful connector between people, cultures, and traditions. Through workshops, debates, and creative activities, participants explored how food reflects identity, heritage, and social values.

Topics such as sustainable eating habits, food traditions, mindful consumption, and inclusive practices were discussed. The exchange allowed participants to share personal stories, question global food systems, and learn from each other in a multicultural setting.

“I was surrounded by magical moments and emotional connection. Every meeting was full of laughter and created lasting memories. This experience brought unexpected energy into our daily rhythm.”
