Innovative didactical methodology used:
What it means:
1st part
2nd part
3rd part
1. Spaced learning
Highly condensed learning content is repeated three times, with two 10-minute breaks during which distractor activities such as physical activities are performed by the students
2. Cross Over learning
Learning in informal settings, such as museums and after-school clubs, can link educational content with issues that matter to learners in their lives
3. Learning through argumentation
Argumentation as means to attend to contrasting ideas, which can deepen their learning. Use of meaningful discussion in classrooms through open-ended questions, re-state of remarks in more scientific language, and develop and use models to construct explanations
4. Incidental learning
Incidental learning, unplanned or unintentional learning. It may occur while carrying out an activity that is seemingly unrelated to what is learned. It is not lead by a teacher
5. Context based learning
By interpreting new information in the context of where and when it occurs, and by relating it to what we already know, we come to understand its relevance and meaning
6. Computational thinking
Breaking large problems down into smaller ones (decomposition), recognizing how these relate to problems that have been solved in the past (pattern recognition), setting aside unimportant details (abstraction), identifying and developing the steps that will be necessary to reach a solution (algorithms) and refining these steps (debugging).
7. Learning by doing
A hands-on approach to learning, meaning students must interact with their environment in order to adapt and learn
8. Embodied Learning
Embodied learning involves self-awareness of the body interacting with a real or simulated world to support the learning process
9. Adaptive Teaching
Using data of learner’s previous and current learning to create a personalized path through educational content.
Data (f.e. time spent reading, scores) can form a basis for guiding each learner through educational materials. Adaptive teaching can either be applied to classroom activities or in online environments where learners control their own pace of study
10. Analytics of Emotions
Teachers responding to students’ emotions and dispositions, so that teaching can become more responsive to the whole learner

Learning Outcomes:
3.2.1 Explain the eating habits of the host and home country
3.2.2 Accumulate the eating habits of the home country that will make your life easier
Process
- The facilitator will read a big list of ingredients to the participants and ask them to memorize as many as possible (Annex 1).
- Once the facilitator is through, he/she will ask them to write them down and compare what each of the participants remember.
- Then the participants will compare them to the ingredients that they use most in their country
- The facilitator will ask the participants to watch the video “Street Food Around The World” (link A.)
- The facilitator will ask the participants to comment on the video and one by one to express an eating habit of their host and home country and how they adjusted themselves in the host country in order to make their lives easier.
- One participant will write down on a flipchart the ideas for the adjustment presented by the participants while getting feedback from everyone for possible new ideas.
