One Slice of Bread at a Time!
The Adventure of Two Friends Who Decided to Change the World!
- story behind our mascots Zio and Ziva.
Once upon a time, in two different corners of Europe, two young dreamers were growing up — Ziva, a curious girl from Slovenia, and Zio, a cheerful boy from Italy.
They didn’t know each other yet, but they both shared one strange habit: whenever they saw food wasted — especially bread — they felt a little sad inside. They didn’t know why, but something deep in their hearts told them that every crumb counts.
When the exchange ended, Ziva and Zio didn’t want to stop.
So, they decided to continue their mission online.
They created an e-learning platform called “Zero Food Waste Volunteers with Art” — the same project you’re a part of today!
Zio took care of the videos, animations, and online games, while Ziva wrote the songs, stories, and eco-tips.
Together, they made learning about the planet colorful, musical, and exciting.
They even created their animated characters — cartoon versions of themselves — to teach others through short films and quizzes.
