WERKSREPORT

New Solidarity Project 2026/27 launched

26.06.2026
“Human Right: Nutrition! Your Plate Can Make a Difference in the World.”

Mozambique is one of the poorest countries in the world and is particularly hard-hit by hunger, climate change, and precarious living conditions. Many families depend on agriculture and need stable opportunities to secure their food and income in the long term. People suffer from hunger, inequality, and the consequences of drought, conflicts, and crises. In the 2025 Global Hunger Index, the country ranked 103rd out of 123 countries evaluated.

EDU-Home Project in Milan – Final Meeting

26.05.2026
On April 19, 2026, the EDU-Home partners gathered in Milan for the final transnational project meeting, marking an important milestone in the conclusion of the initiative. During the meeting, the partners reviewed the current status of activities across all work packages (WPs) and identified remaining tasks that need to be completed in the final phase of the project. A significant part of the discussion focused on the WP5 mainstreaming events. Each partner shared the details of their event as well as valuable insights and lessons learned from their experiences. Looking ahead, the project coordinator will submit the final report on behalf of the consortium by July 31, 2026.
