Project description
Adapting home economics to meet modern challenges
Climate change and public health crises demand innovative solutions. Yet, traditional disciplines often struggle to address these issues comprehensively. Home Economics, once a cornerstone of practical education, has seen declining recognition and integration within modern curricula across Europe. Recognising this gap, the EU-funded SHAREE project aims to reinvigorate Home Economics through a pioneering initiative at Tallinn University: the Science Kitchen. This collaborative hub will bridge disciplines like science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STE(A)M), fostering research, policy recommendations, and educational frameworks that address contemporary challenges, while promoting interdisciplinary learning and gender equality in STEM fields.
Objective
STE(A)M for Home economics And Research ExchangE (SHAREE) aims to develop a European-scale research and innovation based hub at Tallinn University - Science Kitchen, with a sustainable management and research performance, strong networking and finance generation capacity to become an independent and internationally recognised actor in the field of Home Economics. Science kitchen will be a new product, a new environment that unites classroom, kitchen and lab. Science kitchen bridges various disciplines through collaboration and initiates dialogues between stakeholders for the benefit of wider society (in the context of e.g. climate, public health and educational challenges). Thereby Science kitchen helps to up-cycle the Home Economics area in Estonia and develop the awareness and the use of its results to tackle several international modern challenges.
STE(A)M is a corner stone for interdisciplinary collaboration inside and above the boarders of Tallinn university in SHAREE. Home Economics implementation in the EU countries will be mapped and connected with STE(A)M subjects to give policy recommendations for home economics education. Various disciplines are invited to co-design interdisciplinary Science kitchen activities.
This Twinning provides the capacity to create new and impactful research and innovation in the field of Home Economics. SHAREE enables to advance the quality and volume of Home Economics research in Estonia and the EU in cooperation with the international project partners and increase the impact of the research locally, nationally and internationally, with a specific focus on the policy relevance of the research ideas. So far mainly feminine subject area advantages through SHAREE as STE(A)M fosters gender equality by uniting experts and researchers from various disciplines. The interdisciplinary experience in SHAREE will be analysed and recommendations will be put together for working across disciplines.
