The aim of the project was to introduce children and youth to development issues through the project "Today I eat like an Angolan". The second objective was to promote voluntary service in developing countries. The project "Today I eat like an Angolan" was implemented in primary and secondary schools, where children and young people learned about the different challenges faced by developing countries through non-formal education. Volunteering was promoted during public events and the general public had the opportunity to learn about developing countries from volunteers who had spent a year of their lives in Angola. This information, given to children, young people and the public, helped to reduce xenophobic attitudes, break down prejudices and arouse public interest in supporting the provision of development aid.
