Food of Borders, a Youth Exchange funded by Sicily Plus and the Erasmus+ Programme, all participants will learn to live and eat together, they will get to know the cultural life, traditions, history, and of course the delicious food of each another.
It is already the forth year in succession that AEGEE-Dresden e.V. is picked as the exclusive sending association for Erasmus+ projects. This means that AEGEE-Dresden handles the complete organizational process for all participants from Germany. This includes selecting the participants, helping them book tickets and organize their documents like visa (if needed), also helping them prepare for the Exchange as a group, up to managing all reimbursements after the event itself has ended.
Our Germany-based participants having dinner together after the preparation meeting in February discussing work packages to prepare until the start of the exchange.

Food of Borders: fighting xenophobia and racism through an universal action in all living beings on this planet – the food! In addition to the culinary cultural exchange the participants will tell stories from their home countries and will gain knowledge of new cultures. The time they are not cooking, eating or having workshops, all members will get to know stunning Sicily, and take part in the cultural program and group activities. For example visiting the famous Mount Etna!
