The Raízes project, rescuing flavors from vocational training, closes and its spin-off arrives

The Raízes project , rescuing flavors from the FP, is coming to an end in its third year. This does not mean that it is a definitive closure because the initiative will have a continuity but with interesting changes. For the moment, it changes the kitchens of the School of Hospitality and Tourism of Teruel for the kitchens of the CPIFP San Lorenzo (School of Hospitality of Huesca). In addition, the IES Martínez Vargas, from Barbastro, will take over the coordination.

In this latest edition, the project and, therefore, the recipes have focused on the slaughter or matacerdo, which is an activity with a long tradition throughout Aragon. In previous courses we worked with broccoli, Muniesa white beans and Teruel mountain hen.

Raízes, rescatar sabores desde la FP has aimed to publicize and disseminate the animal and plant species that are recovering the public centers of Agricultural Vocational Training (CPIFP San Blas, CPIFP Movera and CPIFP Montearagón) with the Center for Agri-Food Research and Technology of Aragon (CITA). With the idea of going a step further, the School of Hotel Management and Tourism of Teruel joined this initiative, which has been in charge of the design and cooking of the recipes, and IES Martínez Vargas and Pilar Lorengar have focused on everything related to the audiovisual, graphic design and publications with the aim of disseminating the results of the project.

The result of the work of these years can be seen in the following link:

Roots, rescuing flavors from the PF

During these three years, students from different specialties have been able to share working and learning days. It has been a collaborative project that has allowed the students of the Superior Cycle of Audiovisual Projects and Entertainment Production of the IES Martínez Vargas, of Barbastro to travel to Teruel where they have recorded the videos of the recipes, have known the city and have shared moments with other students.

With this project, CIFPA has sought to influence the development of network projects between
VET centers of different specialties. We have also sought to involve the students in
real jobs in which everyone's responsibility can ensure a positive outcome. Technical, social and personal skills such as teamwork, leadership, empathy, responsibility, etc. are enhanced. In addition, the aim was to contribute to the dissemination of vocational training.

This initiative closes with a photographic exhibition showing how this project, included in the regional call for VET projects, has been developed.
