Participants will get information about environmental problems linked to climate, animal proteins and its importance. Participants will get information about Italian culture, Etna area, Catania city, Catania street food. Participants will take part in Cook workshop so they will learn preparing traditional Sicilian dishes. Participants will learn about what zero-kilometer ingredients is and its importance. Sicily has an ancient culinary tradition that embraces and condenses all the traditions of the peoples who have inhabited it over the centuries, such as the Greeks,Arabs, Normans, Spaniards, French. This mixture of very different traditions has given rise to very rich dishes such as cassata, but also to very poor dishes that use only local products. The best, tastiest and healthiest Sicilian cuisine is the one that uses poor ingredients grown in the area. Seeing the realization of these dishes, the production of the ingredients and especially tasting them, the students will be able to realize that an excellent lunch can be created from simple local ingredients, from their territory, with few animal proteins and an abundance of vegetable foods, with evident benefit for the environment and for our health.
