The CHORIZO project has researched and identified different social norms that lead to food waste in various contexts, like school canteens, food service points, food banks, and cities.
To support actors in reducing food waste, the CSCP has developed a capacity building programme that offers know-how and practical tools on how to use social norms to design food waste reduction solutions.
The programme offers both, sector-specific sessions as well as sessions for multiple actors. Drawing on our experience in designing and running successful capacity building programmes, like the Academy of Change and the weiter_wirken project, the CSCP has enhanced CHORIZO with a capacity building programme on food waste prevention and reduction that allows you to learn:
- What are social norms and how to identify them in a given context
- Why are they relevant to food waste in your sector
- What (and how) did others do to reduce food waste with social norms
- How to design and run your own social norm-informed food waste intervention along our 8-step approach
- How to increase the efficiency of your food waste prevention and reduction actions
The first part of the programme consists of a compact training session, taking place from March to June 2025, followed by self-learning and guided individual work in between to plan your intervention.
In the second part of the programme, you will deepen your knowledge and apply it to your case. A Help-Desk will be available to support you as you go through designing your intervention and will assist you to evaluate your action plan and make it even more effective.
The first part of the capacity building programme was kicked-off with a session targeted to food service actors at Internorga in Hamburg, Germany. Please find below the dates and locations for the upcoming compact sessions covering different sectors:
