Our youth exchange project Harvesting Hope: Tackling Food Waste with reference number 2024-1-IS01-KA152-YOU-000227481, was held in Selfoss between 05.10.2024-11.10.2024. A total of 6 countries including Iceland, Czech Republic, Turkey, Portugal and Croatia participated in the project.
In our project, which aims to prevent food waste and raise awareness on this issue by drawing attention to the fact that 1.3 billion tonnes of food is wasted worldwide every year, activities were organised to encourage individuals to change their consumption habits, promote sustainable consumption and contribute to the fight against hunger by focusing on the environmental, economic and social effects of food waste.
Within the scope of the project, our participants developed themselves culturally and socially, while having a pleasant time and making unforgettable memories.
