"Doing it right - Tasting it right: promoting sensory quality of olive oil to high school students "
Completed with great success and participation of students and teachers, the educational activity entitled "Doing it right - Tasting it right: promoting sensory quality of olive oil to high school students" was designed with the initiative of the "Captain Vassilis and Carmen Constantakopoulos" Foundation in collaboration with the International Olive Oil Council and the support of the Technological Educational Institute of the Peloponnese.
The program was attended by 200 students. At the final event, held on March 17 at the Municipal Cultural Center of Kalamata, the students presented their activities. The main purpose of the program is to teach students how to link the quality of olive oil with all life stages of the olive tree and olives.
Particular emphasis was placed on the use of the sensory organs as a tool for obtaining reliable information. The olive oil tasting was adjusted to the students' educational needs by providing experiential learning activities in schools and in the olive oil tasting laboratory of the Technological Educational Institute of the Peloponnese. The educational program will take place in other regions of Messinia, also, in the following academic year, 2014-2015.
