This year the common theme for the event is “Local Food”. Thus, all the participant are invited to join the “International Cookbook” project. The idea is for each organization to provide us a recipe that would have been illustrated by the group during the event. ALPARC will collect all these recipes after the event and create a unique multilingual cookbook of local recipes! We believe that this cookbook will be a wonderful memory to share will all the young participants and that it will empathize the international aspect of the event. In order to coordinate the participation to this book of more than 40 organizations, please read the following documents:
