As a passionate advocate for sustainable living and an experienced educator in food sustainability and art, I bring to the FoodPrint_Artivism course a rich background in nurturing eco-conscious mindsets through creative engagement. My journey with the CE+ project has been instrumental in honing my expertise in the convergence of ecological responsibility and artistic expression. The project's framework—from orchestrating management activities that ensure precise project execution, to pioneering application activities like immersive virtual seminars and innovative escape room games—has deepened my understanding of effective educational strategies. Through these endeavors, I've trained instructors and facilitated pilot studies, all of which have equipped me with valuable insights into fostering environmental stewardship among diverse audiences.

Furthermore, my commitment extends to disseminating knowledge far and wide, as exemplified by my involvement in CE+'s dissemination activities. This crucial work entails spreading the project's findings to reach and inspire our target groups, helping them make impactful, informed decisions about their food choices and their consequences on the planet. In this course, I aim to share these learnings and to collaborate closely with students, fostering a creative environment where we can explore the power of 'Artivism'—a synergy of art and activism—that champions a more sustainable and just food system.
