Dear readers, visitors of this ejournal,

In this initiative of "Foodprints" two schools from India, two from Finland, the same number from the Netherlands and one school from Italy will participate.

From India the participating schools are St. Peter’s Panchgani and Kimmins Girls' School. Myllyharjun Koulu and Paaskytien Koulo are Finnish junior secondary schools not far from Helsinki, The Dutch  Pius - X College and Eijkhagen College are both bilingual secondary schools (CLIL) from the south and our Italian partner is a language-centred secondary school from Treviso, near venice. 

 After the very successful ejournal about schoollife in India and The Netherlands http://ejournal.eumind.net/schooldaze we are now going to discuss FOOD. Welcome to the students and teachers of the secondary schools from India, Panchgani Valley, Finland, Italy and The Netherlands. 

Young people from east and west will discuss their national dishes, their breakfast and family dinners, the food at school and at home and they will enjoy and admire all the articles, photos and films.

This ejournal  will also try to provoke more reflection and discussion within our own schools and between the partnerschools involved. In the 21st century our world is changing fast and nowadays it is not easy at all for young teeangers to distinguish fast and slow food, to go into traditional food and eating habit or to reflect on the future.

Religion, climate and of course culture are part and parcel of our food. Let's find out about this and surprise each other with amazing presentations in text, photo and film. 

Come forward with your own ideas and opinions and wonder about things you have never heard or thought of before.

Enjoy this ejournal.
