This interview refers to the Susplus project which can be found in our Good Practices section.
GOOD PRACTICE OVERVIEW, CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES
What did you like the most about this practice?
In my opinion, one of the main advantages of the SUSPLUS project is the fact that it uses many different forms and ways of transferring the knowledge. It allows participants to create an educational process tailored to their needs, better assimilate knowledge and consolidate it also at a later date. An additional advantage is reaching for both remote and traditional forms.
What did you like the least about this practice?
It seems to me that the project website itself, although it presents important and very valuable content, may generally not be very attractive for the target audience, and sometimes even boring.
How can this practice be improved in the future?
I suggest introducing more infographics and reducing the span of the text on the website and highlighting the links to the presentation more. For example, you can introduce a system of interactive questions, which at the end will indicate what online lecture would be most attractive to the recipient.
Do you think your understanding of Food Literacy and sustainable food systems has been improved after implementing this practice?
I would say: definitely. The presented content is often supported by examples, which significantly increases its impact and value from the recipient’s (including me) perspective. It also presents many points of view and topics, that are less known for most people.
Have you made any changes to your diet yet after implementing this practice?
Yes, I have made some changes to my diet as I have increased my consumption of vegetables and whole grain cereals. I try to eat less processed foods and sweet drinks.
Do you have any ideas, how can sustainable food systems be promoted among young people/children?
It is important to disseminate the idea of balanced and healthy nutrition among young people, and it is easiest to reach them through social media. It would also be interesting for them to organize meetings dedicated to this subject, trainings, workshops, etc.
