What started as a school project at NOVA SBE has proven to be a sustainable social business that could really make a difference in Lisbon against food waste. Together with the other co-founders, we conducted the market analysis, identified a solution with a unique value proposition, built a viable business plan, implemented a pilot, wrote a financial plan and raised funds. In order to scale, we have transferred our knowledge to our local partners through a joint venture. Our "Wastea" project offers a new life cycle for fruit peels to reduce food waste.

Last year, I was in charge of our stay in Morocco. I was responsible for more than 20 Belgian teenagers and a 5-volunteers team during 2 weeks. In close collaboration with our moroccan partner, we helped them to become critic citizens and strive for an alternative and brighter world future.

On behalf of Belgian Development Agency, we developed an online recipe book adapted to the students to promote the Fairtrade week. Those recipes take a little time, are cheap and contain mainly fair trade or organic ingredients. Using Oxfam products, I had to be creative to invent innovative recipes that would suit our needs. I also dealed with logistics problems and stock management. After that step, we promoted our action and rose aware among students from the University of Namur about their food consumption.
