Trainings

WASTELESS partners will create trainings so that participants would know more about FLW and about the tools developed that will be used the precisely measure it. The trainings will be used as part of the case studies. These activities will be available on a Moodle site. The project chose three target groups, each will have their own, tailor-made lessons.

5-10 minute ‘microlearning’ sessions will be made for working adults which, when accumulated, can lead to a certificate. Topics include e.g. ways to measure FLW, how to reduce FLW for retailers, consumers etc.
For FLW researchers a demonstration of measurement tools developed in WASTELESS will be shared in a train-the-trainer format
A teacher resource pack will be made based on graphics (friendly for many languages) which can be tested in pilot schools
