Share Your Recipe, Share Your Story: Contribute to CHARM-EAT! 

Mockup of recipe book.

Food has a remarkable way of bringing people together around a table, across cultures, and through shared memories. It sparks conversations, shares traditions, and helps us learn from one another.   This is the idea behind CHARM-EAT: every dish has a story.  Through this project, we would like to create a digital recipe book developed by and for the CHARM-EU community: students, alumni, staff and anyone involved in the alliance.  What is CHARM-EAT?  CHARM-EAT is a collection of recipes shared by members of the CHARM-EU community.

Exploring the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) Across CHARM-EU

A group of six people sit in a circle in an office or classroom setting, engaged in conversation. On the left, an older woman with glasses and a patterned blouse sits opposite a man with a long gray beard and a blue button-down shirt. Two individuals sit with their backs to the camera in the foreground—one on a blue pouf and another on a yellow pouf. On the right, two blonde women are seated, one in a white cardigan facing the group. The background features a glass-paned door, a wall with signs for "Septembre," "Octobre," and "Novembre," and a display rack filled with colorful informational brochures.
