The main objective of the Career Days (CDs) is to raise awareness of the significance of food in modern life, and to demonstrate their relevance to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The objective of Career Days is to illustrate to the next generation of children and adolescents the necessary higher education pathways, leading to meaningful and exciting careers that innovate the agrifood sector across the entire value chain, in agri/aquaculture, industry, academia and research, but also as entrepreneurs and creators of startups.70 students from Bahçeşehir Dragos Campus, one of the schools included in our EIT Food-Food Educators project, participated in the event with their advisor teachers. Workshops held in the pilot facility and R&D centre gave children the inspiration to develop their own science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) skills outside the classroom environment. Students observed the baking stage of biscuits, learnt about raw materials and ingredients and had the opportunity to develop their own recipes.
