The HEEFTA project – Holistic Environmental Education: From Training to Action – was featured in the newsletter of the ISEKI-Food Association, an international network connecting universities, researchers, educators and food professionals. This gives HEEFTA an opportunity to introduce the project to a wider international community interested in food, education and sustainability.

HEEFTA is an Interreg NEXT MED project that aims to help young people across the Mediterranean develop the knowledge and practical skills they need to respond to environmental and climate challenges. The project brings together universities, research organisations, businesses and public authorities from different Mediterranean countries, connecting education with real environmental needs.

A key part of HEEFTA is helping students develop green and blue skills. In simple terms, these are the skills needed to protect the environment, use natural and marine resources responsibly, and contribute to more sustainable communities and economies. Through training and practical activities, HEEFTA aims to prepare young people to turn what they learn into action.

Being featured in the ISEKI-Food Association newsletter allows HEEFTA to reach people and organisations beyond the project partnership. It also provides an opportunity to share the project’s activities and ideas with an international community working on education, food, sustainability and innovation.

Reaching a wider audience is important for HEEFTA because many of the environmental challenges facing the Mediterranean cannot be addressed by one organisation or country alone. Sharing experiences and connecting people working on similar challenges can help spread useful knowledge, encourage new cooperation and make successful approaches available to more communities.

The HEEFTA consortium thanks the ISEKI-Food Association for featuring the project in its newsletter and helping introduce HEEFTA to its international community.
