Students in the intermediate and higher degrees of Cooking, and also Dietetics, at the Mediterráneo Culinary Center (MCC) receive complete training in food control, quality, safety and hygiene during their vocational training courses. In addition, MCC’s international department participates in this European initiative as a collaborating partner. Due to its extensive experience in managing European projects, the cooking school in Valencia supports the dissemination of Triflim activities.

Three European partners also participate in the European project Triflim, coordinated by AINIA and framed in Erasmus+: Virtual Campus, from Portugal; Creative Thinking Development, from Greece, and Istituto Zooprofilattico Sperimentale dell’Abruzzo e del Molise G Caporale (IZS Teramo), from Italy.

The Triflim platform, based on gamification techniques, will train the different agents in the chain, professionals from the agri-food industry, Public Administration technicians, university students and vocational training students in areas linked to the food sector in European Union food law. . The goal is to increase your opportunities in the labor market.

Innovation in training in EU Food Law

One of the most important priorities in the European Union is to ensure food safety and protection of consumer’s rights. Society and politics are constantly changing. This causes society’s priorities to change over time, which, in turn, translates into new needs and situations that must be evaluated. Consequently, food law is constantly updated to anser new social needs and situations that arise because of our everchanging reality.

Food safety can be promoted and protected through the dissemination of the knowledge necessary to keep it intact, thus allowing the learning and development of knowledge of those sectors obliged to obey these laws. There is also a significant need to modernize higher education to keep up with globalization and technological advances in Europe. The TRIFLIM project (Training in Food Law through an innovative methodology using new information and communication technology tools) meets these needs and also contributes to the professional development of technicians and professionals in the agri-food sector and related industries.

TRIFILM: Food Law training project promoted by the EU

Designing and implementing a training program on the food regulatory framework of the European Union and national legislation, deepening and providing theoretical and practical knowledge on this framework that will help in compliance with the law, is the main objective of the project. In this way, we are developing an innovative electronic learning program (e-learning) on European Union food law within the scope of professional training that, in this case, we will carry out using innovative tools in the field of information technology. Information and Communication (ICT) and designing gamification aspects that improve the educational experience.
Better knowledge of food law by the target groups will not only improve the level of food safety, but will also increase their awareness of fair information practices, thus helping consumers in the European Union to make informed decisions. Correct and not misleading information.
