Food, nutrition and E-shops

The main purpose of the workshop was to introduce local food and scientifically approved nutritional recommendations for northern countries. It’s important to rise awareness about health when you move to another climate zone. During the activity they learned many new food items and words that are very common here. We also used Google Translate’s picturing function to understand more about what we exactly eat, and to find out does the food contain any allergens or something unwanted like pork. Another aim was to try online grocery shopping. Online grocery shopping saves a lot of time and energy if you have big family. They hadn’t heard about that before, so it was a like a woooah-experience for them.

Recipe Workshop

The aim of this workshop was to learn and practice the most common functions of Google Documents and Gmail through a universally interesting topic – food. We integrated digital literacy into cooking. In this workshop, learners wrote a recipe, add pictures to the recipe and send it by email. In our case, to make it more motivating, we actually cooked together with native language speakers. Our adult learners had so the chance to practice language in the field they feel comfortable. This event also gave a good reason to share the recipe by email. The recipe workshop was found very inspiring and many participants want to have it again.
