The *Tradinnovations* project (2023-2026), funded
by the European Union via Erasmus+, brings
together 6 European partners and 9 associates to
develop an innovative pedagogical approach. The
project is based on the scientific analysis of
traditional recipes and culinary heritages, while
integrating inclusive innovation. Through
partnerships with local stakeholders and experts
and a project-based learning approach, students
revisit traditional recipes to adapt them to the
needs of vulnerable populations.

*Tradinnovations* is a multi-disciplinary program designed to create a three-way interaction between students, educators and socio-economic stakeholders. It brings together a wide range of expertise and disciplines, combining food engineering, culinary sciences, molecular & physical gastronomy and humanities, to build a teaching methodology enriched by all the dimensions that make up the act of “feeding oneself”. After a first year in which a rich survey was carried out on the perception of tradition and innovation, the proposal of educational pathways was carried out with the start of development of an educational platform containing supporting resources. A step-by-step learning guide supports the project-based learning approach. This year, various implementation experiments in different countries are taking place simultaneously.

In the scope of this second year, several

questions are raised and could be discussed
during the workshop based on all countries
implementation experiences:

- lessons learned till now

- how to better integrate the use of educational platform in Project-based learning approach?

- how to stimulate intercultural interactions among students, any events/seminars online to be implemented?

- are communities of practices among students, educators and socioeconomic stakeholders possible to persue at long term?

- what kind of different types of articles based on students projects and educational sciences related to the project's activities could be submitted

- how could the project dynamic be maintained after the erasmus+ ending and the role of advisory board
