Centrum Kształcenia i Wychowania OHP w Oleśnicy  – We are a facility where young people with fewer opportunities (social, economic, educational difficulties) acquire professional qualifications, e.g. as a chef, confectioner, blacksmith, hairdresser, baker, mechanic. Young people from other cities have the opportunity to stay in a boarding school. We have extensive experience in implementing international Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps projects. We have been accredited under the Erasmus + Vocational Education and Training and Youth program since 2022.

Goal

The goal of the "Green Vibes, Taste Bites" project is to make lasting memories, gain new skills, and leave with a deeper understanding of how we can all contribute to a greener world.

‍

Objectives:

‍
1. CULINARY WORKSHOPS ON HEALTHY EATING:

Learn to cook vibrant, plant-based meals that are not only delicious but also kind to the planet. You’ll discover how to prepare healthy dishes using local and seasonal ingredients, while also learning the importance of sustainable food choices.

2. SPORTS AND WELLNESS ACTIVITIES:

Start your day with invigorating yoga and relaxation techniques to clear your mind and improve your well-being. These sessions will help you de-stress and energize for the activities ahead, giving you the tools to lead a balanced, healthy life.

3. PLANTING FLOWERBEDS:

Learn the art of gardening as you plant beautiful flowerbeds around the castle grounds. Gardening is not only a way to beautify the environment, but it also supports local biodiversity and fosters a sense of connection to nature.

4. MINI HERB GARDENS:

Discover the magic of composting and how it can help reduce waste and enrich the soil. You’ll also create your own mini herb gardens to take home, perfect for growing fresh ingredients for your future healthy meals.

5. STABLE ACTIVITIES
