Description
The ''Let''s be eco(logical)!'' initiative is the result of educational meetings we have held with children and young people in schools and kindergartens in the City of Toruń. Low level of knowledge about food waste and the concept of zero waste among young residents of Toruń reinforces our conviction that this topic is an important element of our mission. Poland and other European Union countries have been obliged to reduce food waste by 50% by 2030. In order to achieve this goal, many institutions and organisations need to join efforts. Therefore, we also want to invite other actors to cooperate, e.g. involve representatives of the district councils of the City of Toruń in the process of building an eatery. We will use the grant to strengthen the capacity of the organisation and to implement initiatives aimed at preventing food waste. We develop the competences of the organisation''s board by participating in training on fundraising, communication and promotion on social media. We develop a fundraising strategy for the organisation. In cooperation with at least two district councils in the city of Toruń, we analyse local policies against food waste and launch a community eatery. We will prepare an analysis report with recommendations and submit it to the Council of the City of Toruń.
