EU-Projects Gewerkstatt

18/04/2026

Beim WelcomeHer-Event in Herne am 16. April 2026 war Gewerkstatt gemeinsam mit dem Berufs-, Sprach- & Integrationszentrum QUAZ vor Ort, um unsere Angebote, Programme und Projekte für Migrantinnen & geflüchtete Frauen vorzustellen.
Im Mittelpunkt stand dabei auch unser Erasmus+ Projekt EmpowerHer, mit dem wir neue, praxisnahe Zugänge zu Qualifizierung und Beschäftigung schaffen möchten. Besonders großes Interesse weckten die VR-basierten Lernansätze, die reale Arbeitssituationen in einem sicheren und motivierenden Umfeld erlebbar machen.
Eine wichtige Erkenntnis des Tages: Es fehlt vielen Frauen nicht an Potenzial – sondern oft an passenden, zugänglichen und stärkenden Möglichkeiten.
Wir danken für die vielen inspirierenden Gespräche, das große Interesse an unserer Arbeit und den wertvollen Austausch mit Besucherinnen und Netzwerkpartner:innen.

FoodWise milestone: State of the Art Report & Best Practices Review completed

We are pleased to share that the FoodWise State of the Art Report and the review of best practices have now been finalised.

But what does this actually mean?

In FoodWise, this work explored how food education, sustainability, digitalisation, and artificial intelligence are already being discussed and applied across Europe in the field of Vocational Education and Training (VET).

The report highlights an important reality:
young people are increasingly surrounded by ultra-processed foods, digital food marketing, fast consumption habits, and confusing online information. At the same time, many teachers and trainers need more support, tools, and structured resources to address these issues in an engaging and practical way.

Our review therefore focused on key questions such as:
🥗 How can VET learners better understand the health impact of ultra-processed foods?
🌍 How can food choices be connected to sustainability and responsible consumption?
📱 How can digital tools support critical thinking instead of passive consumption?
🤖 How can AI and innovative learning methods make food education more relevant and motivating?

The findings will now directly support the next FoodWise phases, including the development of:

learning materials for VET,
AI-supported educational approaches,
immersive learning solutions,
and practical resources that connect food literacy with everyday life and future professions.

FoodWise is not only about raising awareness. It is about helping young people build the knowledge, judgement, and confidence to make healthier and more sustainable food choices in a digital world.
