TASTE Academy Belgium

Training Cycle in Belgium

The TASTE Transformative Approaches for Sustainable Food in Tourism project supports several key objectives for Brussels-based companies in the tourism and food sectors, particularly in terms of sustainable developmentdigitalisation and resilience

Knowledge sharing

Through training courses and study visits developed by our doctoral partners at the University of Berlin, TASTE aims to strengthen the skills of professionals in the sector and promote knowledge sharing.

Several training courses have therefore been replicated by these experts, adapting the format and content to the needs and realities of Brussels-based businesses.

Training courses

The first session was held on 26 January 2026 and was led by Elodie Bouscarat. It was devoted to a Fresque de l’Alimentation on the theme: ‘Accelerate the profitability of your establishment through sustainable food’.

The second session took place on 2 March 2026 and was led by Fabrice Tobajas. It focused on sustainable and responsible mixology, addressing in particular the use of local and seasonal products, waste reduction and value creation.

The three other and final training sessions in the TASTE programme:

16 April: Organise a sustainable and responsible event.

Raphaëlle Muchery (Gel Dansaert) will share her field experience and present solutions and best practices to make event-related activities more sustainable while remaining economically viable, as well as tools that help entrepreneurs move forward concretely in their transition.

Workshop Agenda

During this interactive session, several topics will be covered:

  • Discover European trends and initiatives in tourism.
  • Understand the concrete obstacles companies face when they aim to become more sustainable—and how to overcome them.
  • Leave with practical tools and insights into financial support linked to the “exemplarity decree” defined by the Brussels Region.

The goal is to provide concrete action pathways tailored to the realities of Brussels-based businesses.
