The Taste of Harmony project aims to contribute to the improvement of:
• Intercultural dialogue through sharing cultural/personal stories and meaning embedded in recipes
• Key digital competencies (content creation, communication, and security) related to sharing recipes and personal stories
• Societal integration of foreign-born (ex-pats, migrants, asylum seekers, and refugees) adult members of the local community
• Online and face-to-face interaction of native-born and foreign-born adult members of local communities in partner countries

The Taste of Harmony project plans to increase the target groups' quality of interaction with other members of their community by increasing intercultural communication, motivation competencies, and better cooperation and communication through ICT tools. The desired result is to also have more competent and professional AE that can progress beyond their traditional approach to and culture of education.

The project will also have positive results for the participating organisations since project partners will improve their in-person and digital training approaches, and strengthen their cooperation with the relevant lifelong learning institutions in their regions and countries as well as relevant stakeholders in other countries, contributing to their internationalisation.
