YES FOOD! - Young Europeans for Sustainable Food

We would like to invite you to be a part of the 7 day event we are hosting in Baisoara, Cluj County, Romania, from 1st until 7th August 2011: “YES FOOD! - Young Europeans for Sustainable Food”.

YES FOOD is a chance for young people - age 18 to 35 - to interact and learn about the cultural heritage of other Balkan people, with focus points on the culinary traditions and the perservation of traditional food processing methods.

Slow Food and Terra Madre network needs young people who can contribute with their enthusiasm and passion to the growth of our network. Terra Madre Balkans last year highlighted the need to focus on food education for children and young people as a crucial step towards re-conciliating people with their rural and gastronomic traditions. Slow Food has members all over the world. What we are trying to develop is a more extended network, involving groups or organizations from different countries but focusing particularly on fostering skills and potential in the Balkan region. These participants will benefit from the experience of participants from more developed western or northern European countries. Equally importantly they will also be able to share their knowledge of their own, more intact food traditions, discovering pride in their region and traditions. The initiative further aims to unite both rural and urban youth communities, and address the various challenges that they face in relation to access, availability and affordability of good food and the usage of sustainable food production.
