Resiliencia alimentaria: la historia de un proyecto educativo en las escuelas colombianas

The document describes 'Como Con Eco', an educational project implemented in Colombian schools and universities to raise awareness about food resilience and climate action. Executed by the social enterprise 2811 and EAN University with funding from Fundación Botnar, the project aims to transform students into 'agents of change' by teaching them about the food production chain and sustainable systems.

• The 'Como Con Eco' project defines a resilient food system as one that is prepared for adverse situations caused by climate change and empowers communities to make their own decisions regarding food through knowledge of food origins, self-cultivation, waste management, and local governance.
• The project was implemented over three years across public and private schools using a practical methodology described as: providing knowledge, receiving a solution to a problem from students, and implementing that solution via a food laboratory.
• The first phase of the project focused on knowledge delivery, which included the creation of a tool kit for urban challenges and technological solutions in schools, as well as a climate action and food resilience training course attended by approximately 1,000 people.
• The second phase involved putting knowledge into practice, featuring a 'Climathon' where 378 students from 30 different schools proposed solutions to territorial climate challenges. To qualify for the final stage, schools had to meet requirements over six months, including having at least five teachers complete the project's initial course.
• In the third year, 10 selected schools implemented food laboratories consisting of three components: mobile gardens for the full production process (cultivation, sowing, and harvesting); climate action proposals based on environmental calculations of water, energy, and waste; and training in nutrition, climate action, and gastronomic natural heritage.
