Electrolux and AIESEC partner in educating youth on responsible consumption and sustainable eating.

Electrolux and AIESEC partner in educating youth on responsible consumption and sustainable eating.

April 6, 2023

Since 2016, AIESEC, the Electrolux Food Foundation, and Worldchefs have been driving the Feed the Planet partnership to inspire better eating and cooking habits among consumers and professionals and support people in need.

Electrolux, a leading global appliance manufacturer, has partnered with AIESEC, the world's largest youth-run organization, to educate youth on responsible consumption and sustainable eating habits to contribute towards achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goal #12, Responsible Consumption and Production. The partnership aims to empower young people to take action on these important issues and create a more sustainable future for all.

One of the initiatives that emerged from this partnership is the Food Heroes toolkit, developed in collaboration with Worldchefs, an international network of chefs. The toolkit includes interactive activities and educational materials promoting healthy and sustainable eating habits among children.

Through this toolkit, children learn about the impact of their food choices on the environment and are encouraged to make more sustainable choices. The toolkit has been used in schools and community centers around the world, reaching more than 80,000 kids to date.

The partnership between Electrolux and AIESEC also includes other initiatives. Together, they have launched awareness campaigns on the importance of reducing waste and using energy-efficient appliances. They have also organized workshops and training sessions to teach young people about sustainable living and responsible consumption practices.

The impact of this partnership has been significant, not only in terms of the number of children educated but also in the long-term benefits for the planet. By empowering young people to take action on these issues, Electrolux and AIESEC are creating a generation of responsible and environmentally-conscious citizens by driving youth participation in the implementation of the UN sustainable development goals.

At Electrolux, sustainability is at the core of everything they do. By partnering with AIESEC, they are able to amplify their impact and reach more young people with their message. Together, they are working towards a more sustainable future for all.

Their joint efforts highlight the power of collaboration and demonstrate the impact that can be achieved when companies and non-profit organizations work together towards a common goal.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
