Creative Cooking - Politicians Learn About Food Waste

On February 3, 2025, Hälsinglands Utbildningsförbund (HEA) conducted an Open Learning Lab (OLL) within the ToNoWaste project. The theme was "Creative
cooking" in collaboration with the Restaurant and Food Programme at Torsbergsgymnasiet. Participants were the Executive board of HEA's (politicians), where local parties were represented, and the Head of the association. 

The day began with two lectures: one on the ToNoWaste project and food waste, the other on the ambitions of education, policy documents and the importance of educating young people. As an example of reducing food waste, students and politicians prepared dishes together from things that for various reasons would otherwise have become food waste. The teachers of the programme created recipes based on available foods. The recipes: https://www.hufb.se/forbundet/projekt/pagaende-projekt/tonowaste
