Project partners from Serbia, Greece, Cyprus and Hungary met in Osijek, Croatia at the end of September 2023, to discuss and work on the development of the project results.
Partners discussed the final touches that should be introduced to the ReS-food Methodological Framework, following the internal and external data gathering for improvements from testers. The final, improved version of the framework will assist companies/organizations to optimize generating food loss, as well as the humanitarian actors distributing donated food.
The partners have been brainstorming ideas about the implementation of the “Measure my Food Waste Status” Self-Assessment Tool. Aspects such as user friendliness, structure and quality, comprehensibility, graphic display and the rating system, question type, duration have been discussed, to develop a self-assessment tool that will be best aligned with the needs and preferences of the target groups.
The ReS-Food Educational Package will provide Charity Organizations with a course with all the required knowledge and methods to manage the food rescue chain end-to-end on one hand, on the other, it will increase the training level of humanitarian actors’ personnel and Ho.Re.Ca and Supermarkets employees and top management. Partners agreed to issue certificates to those, who complete the learning process and pass the exam afterwards.
In order to improve the learning experience, partners will also include various games, quizzes and interactive elements to the educational package.
Aspects, such as communication and sustainability have also been discussed in detail by the ReS-Food partners.
A special thank you goes to our amazing hosts from the Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek for ensuring optimal working conditions and for the warm hospitality.
