The project „Street food – dejun in comunitate” („Street food – lunch in community”) has been conceived as a remarkable reply to the measurable and concrete needs of young people, including those with few opportunities, who live in a world dominated by a stormy economic and financial crisis. The current context is characterized by few labor market opportunities, a weak desire to get involved in the community’s life, the needs for referents, values and models, the necessity of non-formal education environment, of an assumed healthy lifestyle, of a social solidarity and the need of a cultural dialogue. Considering all these needs, the main objectives of this project try: to ensure non-formal educational opportunities for young Romanians and Bulgarians, aged between 15-30, through actions that intend to develop creativity as a generator of economic growth, of employability and to stimulate entrepreneurialship; to promote social inclusion and increase the solidarity and cultural dialogue, while combining practical and theoretical actions with outdoor activities; to raise awareness and education level regarding a healthy behavior and lifestyle, through activities which promote and use the new technologies and communication media. The activities will take place during two mobility periods (one in Corabia, RO, the other one in Oreahovo, BU). The approached theme refers to gaining abilities and competences used by the young people when dealing with local agricultural products, healthy food from their own orchard in order to sell them to the community in a streetlike environment („street market, „street food”).
