Co-creation process for the development of learning materials
FOODRUS applies several co-creative approaches to ensure the involvement of all stakeholder groups and citizens in the reduction of food waste and loss as well as to foster local awareness and the uptake of more inclusive circular food strategies.
This approach is also applied for the creation of the FOODRUS educational materials that will ensure the integration of a comprehensive knowledgebase, best practices, and the tools and solutions developed in FOODRUS to empower stakeholders and facilitate the reduction of food losses along the agri-food value chain through participatory processes. The learning materials will be available through an e-learning platform to widen and diversify the means through which FOODRUS interacts with its target groups and builds their capacities.
Different co-creation tools were applied to collectively decide on the educational materials’ scope and structure. After narrowing down the FOODRUS solutions to be included at the platform, working groups were formed for each chosen topic. The working groups participated in a co-creation workshop where all solutions were presented and interactive tools such as a Miro Board was used by the participants to be able to actively engage and provide real-time feedback about the scope of the learning materials. In the long-term, the working groups of each solution will be contributing to the co-creation living documents to provide the necessary input on results and closely follow the development of the learning materials.
This approach ensures that the scope of the educational materials is tailored to the adequate user groups and their needs as well as fosters their empowerment to adopt more sustainable methods to reduce their food waste and loss.
