This year’s Summer School is designed to deepen our collective understanding and collaboration around food system transformation. Our key objectives include:
- Reflecting on how CDI partners are currently engaging with food system transformation;
- Identifying synergies and areas of alignment between FOSTER and the CDIs;
- Exploring how CDIs can strengthen their transformation efforts by learning from one another.
The opening day will set the tone for the Summer School, revisiting insights from our recent webinar and providing an overview of each FOSTER partner’s progress and activities. This will help establish a shared foundation for all participants.
We also look forward to hearing from CDIs and APs as they share their transformation journeys, particularly in relation to themes that have emerged from earlier phases of the Summer School.
Together, we will synthesize our learnings to date and revisit key frameworks and concepts around food system transformation. Emphasis will be placed on embracing diverse perspectives and worldviews as essential to advancing the FOSTER mission.
Finally, we will reflect on our collective contributions to the FOKIS pathway and provide dedicated time to further develop ongoing writing and research papers.
