EFFECT – The Project Launch!

December 15, 2015

What is EFFECT?

EFFECT (Europe Fights Food waste through Effective Consumer Training) is a two year European project, made possible through an Erasmus + grant awarded by the National Office in Poland. The aim of EFFECT is to develop an innovative multifunctional platform, hosting informative and educational content to raise awareness of food waste and encourage citizens to actively reduce their food waste footprint.

Our Plans:

Our objective is to develop ways for adults to easily learn about food waste, how it is caused and what they can do about it. We will do this through an innovative multifunctional platform, hosting informative and educational content to raise awareness of the food waste problem and encourage citizens’ involvement in the process of reducing their food waste footprint. The information will be tailored to individual adult learners and delivered through an innovative outreach strategy.

The platform will include:

Training materials: e-learning content links, check-lists, tips, etc.
Web-TV: hosting interesting short videos about food waste and solutions to reduce food waste footprint
A board game: available as an online game, for download and as a “do-it yourself construction” at home
